The original Dr Challoner's Grammar School was founded in 1624 in Amersham by Robert Chaloner. Through the centuries the school developed to reflect changing educational needs, becoming co-educational in 1906. By 1962 the increase in school population resulted in the decision to build a new school to house the girls on a separate site in Little Chalfont. Dr Challoner's High School opened at its present site on the 11th September in 1962.
From September 2012 our school will be celebrating its 50th Birthday with various events throughout the year and we hope that you will be able to join us at one of those events. Please find information on events:
50th Anniversary Ball
On Saturday 17th November 328 guests including Parents, Staff, Alumnae and Governors celebrated the schools birthday at our 50th Anniversary Ball. The sports hall was transformed with a spectacular indoor marquee which provided the perfect venue for our evening of celebration. Guests arrived for pre dinner champagne cocktail’s followed by a fabulous three course meal prepared by Scott MacRae, Michelin star chef and co owner of Chefaround Catering. Guests danced the night away with live band 11th Hour.
