Previously known as The Wye Valley School, Bourne End Academy adopted its current moniker following its conversion to academy status in 2014, the school is now a part of the Wycombe High School Academies Trust. With around 600 pupils aged 11-18 in a co-educational setting, Bourne End Academy is smaller than the average secondary school of its type. In terms of intake, the school has a higher than average number of students with Special Educational Needs, with the school providing a specially resourced unit for students with Autism.

The school offers a wide range of subjects, both vocational and academic, and strives to create a structured and disciplined learning environment, the school sets high standards for both behaviour and uniform, and is not shy about encouraging its students to work independent and properly guide their own learning.

“The welfare and personal development of pupils is fostered particularly well. There are carefully planned activities in lessons, assemblies and whole days devoted to events promoting pupils’ personal development and understanding of diverse topics. There is a culture of safety and, as a result, pupils say they feel safe in school.”
