All schools have a different personality, and you pick this up as soon as you step through the door. The personality of Great Missenden CE Combined School is:
- A Church School – where children of all faiths and no faith grow in spiritual awareness and experience the peace of quiet reflection.
- A High Achieving School – we provide "Challenge for All", expecting all children to make strong progress whatever their level of ability.
- An Inclusive School – we welcome children with obstacles to learning.
- A Food for Life School – we are crazy about growing, cooking and eating healthy food.
- An Extended School – offering Morning and After School Clubs from 8am to 6pm
- An Outstanding School – judged Outstanding in every category and sub-category at our last inspection in 2006, we have made continual improvements since then.
Please come and look around the school to see for yourself whether all the above statements are true!

Dear supporter, May we in the Rotary Club of Great Missenden send you our heartfelt thanks for your tremendous support for the Shoe Box Scheme last Christmas.

Yours sincerely, Rotarian, George

The children loved the Quiz Club format, with push-button answer pads and instant scoring. Parents in the audience also enjoyed exercising their little grey cells. Questions covered history, geography, music and current The competition was won by Tylers Green Middle School. All contestants received a certificate, and were very keen to repeat the experience soon!

On Friday 1st February, Year 6 took over the school for the whole day! They planned their lessons well in advance, taught them with confidence and even marked the work! All the members of staff were blown away by the maturity and independence of the Year 6 pupils.
10 teams of General Knowledge Whizz Kids squared up totackle the challenge of an Inter-school quiz on 24th January at Great Missenden School.
Year 3 visited Chesham Mosque on 10th December. We were shown around by Ibrahim, who explained the way in which local Muslims use the building and the practices of Islam. It was a very informative visit and the group visiting the mosque in the afternoon were fortunate enough to hear the muezzin chant the adhan, calling people to afternoon prayer.
