In 2008 it was reported that the school was paying sixth form students to teach younger pupils at the school, instead of employing qualified supply teachers whose quality of teaching the school had sometimes felt to be lacking. Twenty-four students were being paid £5 for fifty minutes of teaching a subject, which they were studying at A-level. The students were given training and were accompanied by an adult in the classroom. [3] [4]
In 2008, the Chalfonts Community College began to road test the edexcel engineering diploma.
The school was one of two that taught the diploma, and the current year eleven students are still[ when? ] completing the course. The Creative and Media Diploma was successfully launched in September 2009.
The school was rated "Good" by Ofsted in both November 2013, May 2017 and February 2023. [5]
