Dr Challoner's Grammar School

Dr Challoner’s Grammar School is a selective 11–18 grammar school in Amersham that provides a broad, academically focused curriculum from Key Stage 3 through to Sixth Form. While it is primarily a full‑time school rather than an external training provider, it does prepare students for a range of post‑16 and post‑18 destinations including employment, apprenticeships and higher education. In Key Stages 4 and 5, students typically study a strong core of GCSEs followed by three or four A Levels, with options to complete an Extended Project Qualification. The Sixth Form curriculum is structured around the Challoner’s Baccalaureate and a “Character Challenge”, which combines academic study with volunteering, team projects, lectures, games and co‑curricular activities to build wider employability skills. The school highlights progression routes into apprenticeships alongside university, and supports students through careers guidance, work experience and a varied enrichment programme. However, there is no indication on the school’s website that it delivers government‑funded apprenticeship standards directly to external employers or adult employees; its provision is focused on educating enrolled pupils and sixth formers.
