About us
Set in a stunning rural location but close to both Amersham and Wycombe, we are one of the best kept secrets in Buckinghamshire!
Curzon is a slightly smaller than average school with excellent pupil to staff ratios, each class with its own dedicated teaching assistant.
Our team know every pupil well and encourage and nurture each child’s talents. When entering our school, you will immediately feel the warmth, friendliness and passion that underpins all we do. We promote high academic standards and a strong work ethic alongside the Christian values of courage, kindness and respect. Behaviour is excellent and we are proud of our inclusive school where everyone feels safe and valued.
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree for others to take shelter’ Matthew 13. V31-32
Our school vision is that every child flourishes and grows like the mustard seed to become a tree to protect and support others. Throughout the school we provide opportunities for our pupils to develop as confident and resilient learners who seek to help others and make a difference. As a result, Curzon pupils go onto many successes in the next stages of their educational journey.
While we are a Church school and live according to Christian values, we welcome all children and adults of all faiths or none.
