Headteacher's welcome

Welcome to Chesham Grammar School!  I hope that our website gives you a clear insight into and understanding of life at CGS.  

Ours is a vibrant school community.  It is characterised by a supportive and caring environment and relationships between staff and students are exceptionally warm.  Visitors invariably comment on how welcoming, happy and friendly the school feels and we are very proud of this. 

Everything we do at CGS is underpinned by our vision and values.  During their time with us, our students will be encouraged to aspire to excellence so that they can flourish and achieve their best in all that they do.  We seek to develop a strong sense of belonging and our House system, central to the life of the school, plays a key part in this.  We also want students to enjoy their time here. There is a very wide range of extra-curricular activities and opportunities available so that every student can participate in the wider life of the school. When students leave us, they are exceptionally well prepared for life and many of our alumni keep in close contact with us in their lives beyond CGS.  This sense of community is very important to us. 

Our staff are committed to achieving this shared purpose, whatever their role within the school.  Teachers are innovative and creative, as well as passionate about their individual subject specialisation.  This, along with our own distinctive CGS approach to learning ensures an inspiring and high-quality classroom experience for all.   

I hope the information you find here gives you a sense of life at Chesham Grammar School.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
