Akeley Wood Senior School in Buckinghamshire offers private education for girls and boys aged 11 to 16. Our Senior School is split across two prestigious sites between Buckingham, Towcester and Milton Keynes.
Years 7 to 8 are based exclusively at the magnificent Tile House Mansion, where they are under no pressure to grow up too soon. Akeley Wood House, just one mile along the road, is home to Years 9 to 11 and the Sixth Form.
The Senior School curriculum is designed to help develop pupils knowledge and understanding of not only core subjects but a wide range of topics, to give them a global perspective. In addition to the in-classroom practices, pupils have ample opportunity to take part in extra-curricular activities including sport and regular trips and visits to enhance their learning.
To better understand our approach to teaching and learning, character development and the breadth or opportunities on offer at our Senior School, please visit during an open day or book a private tour and in the meantime, request a prospectus.
