History
In 1959, the school was visited by Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Mother's Clubs in Buckinghamshire. The school is notable as the location where the jury retired to consider their verdict in the Great Train Robbery case in 1963. They used the room that is now the main office of the youth centre on the school site.
In early 2009, it was awarded Business and Enterprise status and underwent refurbishment in areas of the school, funded by the Business & Enterprise grant.
It was used as a filming location in the iconic 2016 film Aylesbury Dead, where the main character David (played by David Davids) visits at the start of the film to collect his girlfriend (who just so happens to be in Year 10) to take her to Maccies.
