Hello, I am sure someone will be along to help soon. From what I have heard Misbourne (sp?) and John Collet are ok, Misbourne is about to have a new Head. I think that they are the 2 schools that serve the areas you are looking at. Good luck.

Sir William Borlase (Marlow), Royal Grammar(boys only, Wycombe) and John Hampden (ditto) are all fairly good, but Borlase gets outstanding results every year. I think Prestwood and Missenden would be in catchment for both the Wycombe boys' grammars, and if you have daughters, Wycombe High (again, a grammar in Wycombe) gets v good results.

Don't know about high schools.

If you don't get into grammars - misbourne, holmer green upper, risborough upper are probably the best sec moderns around. (There are some ropy ones because of selection.) Primaries, I mentioned on primary thread:
lacey green and gt kingshill (church schools usually full) little knigshill, prestwood junior (o/s a while ago, prob still is), naphill (my son went there - good school) Holmer green junior.

Sorry about capitals (or lack!)

thanks for all the info may now look at prestwood /missenden as more houses to rent but i di like lacey green school although may be full thANKS
