A Word from the Head

Pipers Corner is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 3 - 18. Set in 36 acres of beautiful Chiltern countryside, the school is 4 miles north of High Wycombe and 2 miles from Great Missenden.

From Pre-Prep through to Sixth Form there a focus on academic excellence which is reflected in the quality of teaching we provide and our outstanding examination results. In addition, all girls benefit from involvement in the wider life of the school community. There is an extensive programme of extra-curricular activities on offer - from choir, dance and drama, to lacrosse, swimming and photography - all interests are catered for. Our girls also benefit from the use of our excellent facilities including the swimming pool, sports hall, ICT suite and dance and drama studios.

The boarding community at Pipers offers flexibility, freedom and peace of mind to both girls and their parents. We offer boarding on a full, weekly and flexible basis which means that we can provide practical solutions to the often demanding needs of modern family life. All girls can also take advantage of an extended school day where they are welcome in school from as early as 7.30am and can remain with us well after the lessons end.

The Pipers Corner environment allows girls to thrive. Whatever their strengths, the girls are challenged and supported as they pursue their own unique learning journeys. This approach enables them to fulfil their academic and personal potential and emerge as mature, confident and independent young women.
