The school is set in the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside with splendid views overlooking High Wycombe and the picturesque Wye Valley. Principal, Ms M Mirza, said The outdoor environment will be key component of our vision and we are committed to ensuring that pupils use this to enrich their learning, through exploration and play.

The mechanical and electrical services have been designed in strict accordance with the latest edition of Building Bulletin 101; in particular the associated regulations and guidance notes for the use of natural ventilation to promote good indoor air quality and thermal comfort for schools. Of equal importance was the requirement to ensure that energy consumption and CO2 emissions were reduced to exceed the expectations of Part L2A of the Building Regulations.
