We are proud of the high standard of education at our friendly and self-confident school. Please take your time to explore our website, which will give you a flavour of Wycombe High School. You will also find links to our Moodle Virtual Learning Environment, which is our principal online teaching and learning facility for our students and teachers. Each class in every subject has a 'virtual classroom' in which teachers provide resources links and activities to support and enhance learning. Unlike this website, most areas of the VLE are only accessible by teachers and members of particular classes, but we have left some areas open for you to explore freely, to see how it is used.

Every school day, your daughter will be welcomed into a friendly place of learning where she will grow in knowledge and confidence, encouraged in her efforts and praised for her achievements. As she moves through the school, we aim to foster a love of learning and to provide her with both the motivation and the skills for independent and lifelong learning. Learning takes place as much outside as inside the classroom. Subjects extend into the community through fieldwork and visits at home and abroad, theatre and film, expert-led workshops, outdoor education and competitions. We provide a wide range of enrichment opportunities to nurture intellectual, social and physical development, irrespective of a girl’s ability or level of skill.

Girls are encouraged to take part in music, dance, drama, debate, sport, community events and, as they grow older, to take on roles in which they lead younger students in such activities. We expect girls to take advantage of this wider curriculum, its opportunities for adventurous learning and active citizenship. We want to keep you informed about the events and opportunities available to your daughter. This part of our website, together with the calendar, will help to provide you with this information and on how you can participate with other parents and governors to support the school.
