The school has an all-weather full-sized tiger-turf sports pitch that the Wycombe Wanderers first team occasionally train on.[citation needed]
In September 2004 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a science college.[3]
In May 2011 the school applied for academy status in order to be released from local education authority (LEA) control.
The school has a vertical tutoring system and students are split into four houses:
- Winton – after Nicholas Winton
- Roosevelt – after Eleanor Roosevelt
- King – after Martin Luther King Jr.
- Ali – after Muhammad Ali
The current headteacher is Andrew Gillespie, who took over from Catherine Long in January 2008. Previous to this, he was a regular teacher of science at the school.
For the last seven years, Burnham Grammar School has been the location of "Lighthouse Burnham".[4] Lighthouse is a holiday week for children run by Christians from many local churches.
