Aylesbury Grammar School is more than just an outstanding School. It is a community and family built upon 425 years of history. As a School we inspire and nurture our students to explore for themselves who they want to be and find their place in the world.

AGS is committed to a culture of innovative learning and achievement through pioneering expertise of all the staff, enviable support from the Governing Body, PTA, alumni and wider Aylesburian community.

Our vision as a ‘free school for Aylesbury’ is to give every student irrespective of background and circumstance an opportunity to flourish. Providing an education which is unparalleled in breadth and quality of opportunity, striving to become international leaders in academic and pastoral development.

We want our students to be challenged to achieve their very best, to flourish in all they do and to share a positive outlook with others.

"Pupils flourish in this exceptional school. They are proud to attend, and demonstrate strong levels of commitment to their education. Leaders eloquently articulate the purpose and values of the school. They have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils share these high aspirations and are eager to do their best, so they work hard and achieve consistently highly in all subjects.

The behaviour of pupils is exemplary. They show high levels of respect for each other, staff and visitors. Bullying is not tolerated. On the rare occasion it does happen, pupils have confidence in how staff act swiftly to address any concerns or unkind behaviour. This helps pupils to feel safe.

Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum that extends far beyond the academic. The personal development of pupils is a towering strength of the school. There is an abundance of opportunities designed to develop and nurture pupils’ character and talents. Pupils relish the opportunity to make positive contributions to the school and local community. The ‘student committee for change’ is highly regarded. As part of this, pupils make a significant contribution to school development priorities, such as promoting equality and diversity. "
