In September 2011, the school became an Academy.[3] It takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18 and has approximately 850 pupils.[4] In September 2005, the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Business & Enterprise.[5] Amersham School is an upper school, and half the children who live locally pass the 11+ and go to grammar schools. In light of this data, Amersham School is performing well above national averages.{{when|date=February 2017}} As is common with many other schools, Amersham School operates a two-year Key Stage 3. This allows three years for GCSE study, through a staged approach, and allows for a more personalised curriculum including a variation of qualifications on offer, personalised to suit the mixed ability students. The school is over-subscribed for entries in Year 7 and has a large sixth form.{{when|date=February 2017}} HistoryThe school opened on its current site in 1964, although at that time it was the Brudenell County Secondary School for girls. Following the opening of the girls' school, the Raans County Secondary School, which had opened in 1956 as a mixed school, became a boys' school. In 1988, Raans Secondary School merged with Brudenell School, to become the Amersham School,[6] the Raans site, however, remained open for a further year for lessons for the new school's pupils. Notable alumni include Olympic Athlete Nicola Sanders. BlocksThe main entrance includes the cafeteria, an entrance to the hall and the main office.
Academic resultsThe examination results at Amersham School have risen dramatically in recent years, with 70% of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C in 2010. 50% of pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A*-C including English and Mathematics.{{when|date=February 2017}} A Level and BTEC results are also at an all-time high, with a 98% pass rate and 67% of grades at A-C.{{when|date=February 2017}} The school's 2016 GCSE results had a Progress 8 score of 0.27, which is above the national average for schools in England, and 79% of pupils earned A*-C grades in GCSE English and Maths. The 2016 A-Level results were in line with the national average, with a progress score of −0.22 and an average grade of D+.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.amershamschool.org.uk/Governors/ |title=Governance |publisher=Amersham School |accessdate=15 February 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.education.gov.uk/edubase/establishment/summary.xhtml?urn=137343|title=URN 137343 Amersham School|publisher=Edubase/DfE|accessdate=25 August 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Open academies map and schools submitting applications|url=http://www.education.gov.uk/academies/a0069811/open-academies-map-and-schools-submitting-applications|publisher=Department for Education|accessdate=7 September 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Schools Directory |publisher=Buckinghamshire County Council |url=http://apps.buckscc.gov.uk/eforms/schools/schoolDetails.aspx?DFEE=4095 |accessdate=2 August 2006 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930015054/http://apps.buckscc.gov.uk/eforms/schools/schoolDetails.aspx?DFEE=4095 |archivedate=30 September 2007 }} 5. ^{{cite web |title=Specialist Schools Home |publisher=DfES |date=July 2006 |url=http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/specialistschools/ |accessdate=28 July 2006 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060803055309/http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/specialistschools/ |archivedate=3 August 2006 |deadurl=yes }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://schooletc.co.uk/school-raans-secondary-school-128345 |title=Raans Secondary School, Amersham: Schools in Amersham |publisher=Schooletc.co.uk |date=31 August 1988 |accessdate=15 February 2017}} 7. ^https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/137343 External links
