History

The school opened on its current site in 1964, although at that time it was the Brudenell County Secondary School for girls. Following the opening of the girls' school, the Raans County Secondary School, which had opened in 1956 as a mixed school, became a boys' school. In 1992 Raans School closed. Brudenell became a mixed school, and was renamed the Amersham School. [cite web
