What the school inspection says

Date of report
2024
Verdict *
Outstanding
“At Wycombe High School (WHS), pupils achieve academic excellence and contribute eagerly to all aspects of school life. Interactions between pupils and staff are defined by a sense of community and mutual respect. Pupils live out the school’s values of ‘limitless ambition, infectious joy, insatiable curiosity and generous spirit’. … The school has set very high expectations for pupils’ achievement and their wider development. As a selective school, pupils join with high prior attainment. However, staff and pupils are not complacent about what more can be achieved. Pupils work incredibly hard, and staff focus relentlessly on helping pupils meet their shared high expectations. Consequently, pupils, including those in the sixth form, achieve highly. Pupils benefit from an exceptional enrichment offer.”
