Schools in Great Missenden

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Great Missenden is a village in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire, with 5 primary schools and 1 secondary school. Buckinghamshire County Council operates a fully selective secondary system — families sit the 11+ in September of Year 6, and grammar places are allocated county-wide on selective score. Two faith schools in Great Missenden apply religious criteria.

Families who do not achieve a grammar offer receive a place at their nearest non-selective upper school. Great Missenden is in the Chiltern Learning Trust area; the local upper school serves Year 9 onwards following a middle school transition. Families should check the Buckinghamshire admission arrangements carefully as the middle school structure differs from most of England's primary-secondary model.
