A warm welcome to Curzon C of E Combined School. 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 caring and experienced team know every pupil well and encourage and nurture each pupil'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
