I am pleased to welcome you to Aylesbury High School.

We are a busy, friendly and highly successful community, with a distinctive character.  This website will give you a flavour of the school; please read about our achievements and share our hopes for the future.  Do have a look at our new prospectus and DVD by following the link to our prospectus section on the left.

In 2006-7 we broke the World Record for pulling Christmas Crackers, were in the World Final of the KidsLitQuiz, raised £10,000 for charity, represented the youth of the UK at the J8 summit in Germany, welcomed visitors from our partner schools in Kenya and India, visited a dozen different countries, had about 40,000 lessons(!) and sat 4,000 public exams - you can see a summary of the results below.  

2007-8 looks as though it is going to be just as busy!
