Great Marlow School is a co-educational secondary school in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. It takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18 and has approximately 1,260 pupils. In August 2011 the school became an Academy.[1] In 2012/2013 the school underwent a building project to erect a new sports hall, all weather astroturf pitches, new bus parking and a community gym complex. The school sold a large plot of land at the top of their field to fund this project.[2]
In September 2005 the school was awarded specialist school status as a technology college, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).[3]
Pupils who attend the school normally live in the Marlow or the surrounding villages such as Lane End.[4]
In July 2011 the school celebrated its 50th anniversary.
