Our school
We are a happy, vibrant and successful school which is at the heart the local neighbourhood that we serve. All our students live within a short distance from the school and there is a real feel of everyone knowing each other.
We aim to provide an outstanding, positive learning environment and value the high quality of relationships that enable this to be true of all aspects of school life. Our culture is well expressed in our Shenley Values ‘We are kind, We work hard, We are respectful’.
We support and encourage our students to try their best to achieve success in all areas and help prepare them for their future choices, not only in their academic learning, but also within other areas such as music, sport, art and drama.
We hold high expectations of each other and seek to support each other in ensuring that all members of the school community enjoy an enriching and fulfilling experience during their time here. We have a traditional ethos and our combination of an innovative, modern curriculum and supportive parents have contributed to the school’s success.
The predominant focus of the school is on working with students to develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge which combine to create successful and independent learners. We seek to provide a stimulating and challenging classroom experience in partnership with excellent student support systems that includes Pastoral and Year Leaders.
We have combined the best of a “vertical” house system that allows us to enhance individual progress as a student moves through the school (and allows students of different year groups to meet and work together within their house) and a “horizontal” year system that allows us to work with students in their specific curriculum year (and in which their forms are based).
We plan an exciting range of opportunities beyond the curriculum that aim to enhance students’ personal growth and development and increase their awareness of how they can best contribute to the school community and beyond.

Milton Keynes
A purpose‑built “new city” designed from scratch - Created in 1967, MK wasn’t shaped by centuries of organic growth like most UK towns. It was engineered with modern living in mind - wide roads, zoning, green buffers, and a futuristic vision. Milton Keynes is a growing, diverse and thriving community with excellent transport links. The area has something for everyone, whether you like green spaces, leisure activities or shopping in the Centre MK.
It is home to Woburn Safari Park - this offers a close‑up safari drive and walk‑through areas where visitors can see animals, watch keeper talks, and enjoy family‑friendly attractions. It is also home to Bletchley Park which attracts visitors from all over the world. The world‑famous WWII codebreaking centre where Alan Turing and others cracked the Enigma code. It’s one of the most visited historic sites in the region.
Milton Keynes was designed with extensive parkland, lakes and linear green routes, giving it one of the highest proportions of green space of any UK city. A unique architectural and cultural identity - from the Concrete Cows to the Xscape building to the Peace Pagoda, MK embraces bold, sometimes quirky design choices that set it apart.
