Our Vision
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide all our students with a first class, personalised and progressive education, which is underpinned by the development of self-confidence, positive attitudes and enterprise skills.
When our students join our school community, they are embarking on a learning journey which will challenge, motivate and inspire them, with access to the very best in educational, sporting and creative opportunities. Along this journey it is essential that, as a school, we work in close partnership with parents to ensure our students are in the best possible position to fulfil and exceed their potential.
Our mission statement ‘Live, Learn and Succeed – Together’ lies at the heart of all we do. Amersham School’s philosophy of innovation, improvement and success is underpinned by the traditional values of:
- Mutual respect and trust
- Honesty and integrity
- Responsibility and ownership
- Equality and co-operation
- A sense of community
We strive to prepare our students for a successful future, whatever path they choose and have an impressive track record to demonstrate this commitment.
Our vision for the future of our school and students is to deliver exceptional learning experiences which: inspire the mind, challenge all abilities and develop lifelong learners who are ambitious and confident about their future successes
