Facilities
Key stage 3 - Getting ready to fly
The Key Stage 3 prepares students to maximise their time at Wycombe High School. They follow a broad two-year curriculum, studying over 14 subjects, developing a range of skills designed to prepare them for further study at GCSE and A Level, and more importantly life. This is where students find their passions: the subjects they enjoy; the subjects they are desperate to find out more about; the subjects at which they excel; the subjects they may spend the rest of their lives pursuing.
Key stage 4 - Journey of discovery
The journey of discovery begins in Year 9 where our students commence a three-year Key Stage 4 with 19 different subjects from which to choose. This enables them to express their passions and talents across a wide range of areas. Students are encouraged to pursue creative subjects alongside English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages (modern and ancient), to develop a culture of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) and maintain breadth of choice for the future. Students select five subjects beyond the core of English, Mathematics and the individual Sciences
Key stage 5 - broadening horizons
The Sixth Form Curriculum broadens horizons. It is an expansive curriculum which gives students a free and broad choice of 3 or 4 A Levels (from 23 options) and supports students’ ability to respond to challenges and complexity. Independence in learning is developed and leadership encouraged. Self-sufficiency, global awareness, physical and mental wellbeing and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development (SMSC) are integral to our Key Stage 5 experience, as is preparation for the next stages of life (university, apprenticeship or employment).

Things to note
Extracurricular Activities
They offer over 80 clubs and societies run by both staff and students, affording our girls the chance to take ownership whilst developing organisational skills. These societies range from sport, music, drama, dance and debating, to religion, politics and philosophy, Ultimate Frisbee and yoga. There is something for everyone. As national restrictions are eased, we are starting to reintroduce educational visits which complement the academic aspects of school life and enable students to grow as individuals. A number of these visits are residential, with students participating in music and sports tours as well as opportunities to undertake the Duke of Edinburgh Award and take part in adventure activities weekends. Alongside this we are continuing to offer virtual opportunities to complement our academic curriculum and provide the additional experience that helps to develop our students as active members of our society.
