ABOUT DCGS

Head of School's Welcome,


Having educated the boys of Amersham and the surrounding area since the 17th Century, Dr Challoner's enjoys a reputation as one of the leading state grammar schools in the country. The school is home to 1300 students aged 11-18 and we see it as our mission to help them develop into young adults with the right habits and attitudes to take on the challenges of the modern world.
​

Our boys’ results at GCSE and A Level are outstanding, placing Challoner's consistently among the top 50 state schools in Britain. Almost all our students move on to further study at university level and around 20 boys each year are offered places to continue their education at Oxford and Cambridge.

 

To this end we have created a friendly and caring environment, rich in learning opportunities, so that boys can flourish and mature into talented, modest and committed young adults. We seek to help Challoner’s boys discover and develop their passions, drawing on the latest research in the field of learning and taking advantage of our many creative partnerships both within the UK and across the world.

 

 

Sincerely,



 

 

 

Dr Mark Fenton
