'''Aylesbury High School''' (AHS) was founded in 1959, in [[Aylesbury]], [[Buckinghamshire]], when the previously co-educational [[Aylesbury Grammar School]] became boys-only. The two schools remain on adjacent sites. |

Many pupils who complete their [[GCSE]]s in year 11 go on to study [[Advanced Level (UK)|A-levels]] at the school. |
