What The Good Schools Guide says..
In the south Bucks microcosm of pushy parents, competitive children and a focus on academic excellence at any cost, here you will also find an overwhelmingly kind, nurturing and in many ways relaxed school, coupled with a clear focus on excellence and getting pupils to achieve their very best. Steadily climbing the local academic ladder without having to jeopardise its pupils’ happiness - in the words of one parent: ‘I decided I wanted my daughter to come out of school with her mental health intact...'
What the school says...

Head
Since 2015 Miss Annmarie McNaney (50) BA PGCE. Educated in Coventry and at the University of Bristol where she read theology and sociology. Having sworn never to follow her mother’s footsteps into teaching, she nonetheless stayed in Bristol to do a PGCE ‘just to fall back on.’ Bitten hard by the bug the first time she stepped into a classroom and turned down graduate traineeships with the NHS and M&S to take up first teaching post at Backwell School – ‘a fantastic place to cut my teeth’ – where she was promoted to assistant head of sixth form.
