Buckinghamshire is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK*.  Stretching from the outskirts of London to the Midlands, the county offers a unique mix of bustling towns alongside the rolling Chiltern Hills and the River Thames.  Country walks run between picturesque villages whilst the superb travel links give quick and easy access to the cities of London, Oxford, Milton Keynes and Birmingham.

Education

Schools in Buckinghamshire offer high quality education, preparing pupils for adult life.  Our schools are amongst the best in the country, consistently performing above the national average.  Buckinghamshire is one of the few counties in England to offer grammar school education alongside comprehensive secondary education.  Admission to grammar school is selective and based on results of the eleven-plus exam.  In addition, Buckinghamshire is well-served by many independent schools for children from the ages of five to 18.
