High Wycombe Church of England Primary School is committed to serving its community and surrounding areas.  It recognises the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever changing nature of the United Kingdom, and therefore those it serves.  It also understands the vital role it has in ensuring that groups or individuals within the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.
