ABOUT THE GRANGE SCHOOL
Judged to be a Good School by Ofsted in April 2024, we are a mixed, non-selective 11-18 Foundation secondary school situated in the market town of Aylesbury and ten minutes from the Chiltern Hills – an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are close to Oxford, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes and surrounded by delightful market towns and characterful villages. The students and staff at The Grange School make it a fantastic place to work. Our students are friendly and confident and we strive to ensure that they achieve the success that they deserve. Together we have created a successful community school, where students learn the skills for success.
We support our staff with a robust staff well-being programme. All staff have access to a wealth of free support resources and materials to ensure they feel supported and happy.
We are a supportive team with community sitting at the heart of everything we do. A community where passion, creativity and inspiring a love of learning are celebrated and embraced. Where your relentless professional commitment to supporting and empowering students is both valued and rewarded.
Our Aims:

The support and guidance of students is based on a Year system and aims to develop co-operation, involvement and respect in all students.
A broad and balanced curriculum is provided for Years 7 to 9. In Years 10 and 11, all students will study English, Mathematics, Science, PE, RE and PSHCE (Personal, Social & Health and Citizenship Education). Students can then choose from a range of additional GCSE, BTEC and vocational courses. We offer a range of traditional and vocational courses at Key Stage 5. The curriculum in all Key Stages is further enhanced through wide ranging extra-curricular experiences.
We aim to attract energetic and conscientious staff who have a commitment to the education of our students. The professional development of all staff is an important focus for the school. We strive to create a learning environment, which serves the needs of all the members of our diverse and vibrant community.

- We are the enablers for young people to overcome the barriers of selection and facilitate them to fulfil their academic potential, creative talent and sporting capabilities.
- We are a flourishing community based on an ethos of mutual respect. Where collaboration to create a culture of self-confidence enables both students and staff to flourish. Where a broad and balanced curriculum, a pioneering transition timetable, wide-ranging extra-curricular programme and an established reputation for outstanding pastoral care creates confident and responsible young people, who are well adjusted to meet the ever-changing demands of the 21st century.
- We are a team that values your personal development through our innovative CPDopoly programme. Where our weekly “sharing good practice” sessions allow us to collectively expand and develop unique and innovative teaching practices to further inspire our students.
- We are an environment that understands the importance of downtime for our staff. Where our dynamic Staff Social Committee prides itself on offering a varied programme of social activities and events to allow the opportunity to relax and have fun as a team.
