What the school offers its staff

Wycombe High School is a outstanding girls’ selective state academy school in Buckinghamshire.  Our staff are professional, forward-looking and committed.  We offer a culture which supports and energises people to be the best  they can be, where staff nurture one another and share ideas, where work life balance and wellbeing are encouraged and supported. 

We are passionate about single sex education and the extraordinary benefits it brings to our students.

Mental health and wellbeing are always high on our agenda, which has been acknowledged by the mental health charity Mind who have awarded us GOLD in their Wellbeing Index Awards in 2022-2023 and again in 2023-2024 for 'successfully embedding mental health into our policies and practices'.

We are proud of the excellent teaching, care and guidance we offer, along with excellent facilities and the wide range of opportunities in and beyond the classroom. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff, trustees, parents and visitors to the school to share this commitment.

Wycombe High School has a long history of providing a high quality education for girls. We match the very best of the school’s traditions, with an ambitious vison, mission and strong core values. This means we are constantly developing and evolving our curriculum and facilities. We are never complacent and constantly strive to further build on our reputation as one of the best schools nationally and internationally.

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment.
