Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School

SHFGS is a co-educational selective school in North Buckinghamshire. The environment is one in which high standards in every aspect of school life are the norm. Whilst academic success is extremely important, the school also works very hard to ensure that young people develop into successful adults – in the broadest sense. The environment provides a platform for supportive, caring and encouraging relationships that enable young people to thrive and flourish.

SHFGS was the foundational school for Insignis Academy Trust, when the Trust was established in July 2016

SHFGS hosts ITT trainees from both the Insignis SCITT and from a number of other local and national providers.
