In September 2005, the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Business & Enterprise. The examination results at Amersham School have risen dramatically over the last five years, with 70% of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at grades A *-C in 2010. 50% of pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A *-C including English and Mathematics. A Level results are also at an all-time high, with a 98% pass rate and 67% of grades at A-C. Amersham School is an upper school, and half the children who live locally pass the 11+ and go to grammar schools. In light of this data, Amersham School is performing well above national averages. As is common with many other schools, Amersham School operates a two-year Key Stage 3. This allows three years for GCSE study, through a staged approach, and allows for a more personalised curriculum. The school is over-subscribed for entries in Year 7 and has a sixth form. ==History== The school opened on its current site in 1964, although at that time it was the Brudenell County Secondary School for girls. Following the opening of the girls' school, the Raans County Secondary School, which had opened in 1956 as a mixed school, became a boys' school. In 1992, Raans School closed. Brudenell became a mixed school, and was renamed the Amersham School. Notable alumni include Olympic Athlete Nicola Sanders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amersham School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
