The Aylesbury Vale Academy, formerly Quarrendon School, was Buckinghamshire's first Academy. It is a Church of England Academy with the Anglican Diocese of Oxford as the primary sponsor and Buckinghamshire County Council as a co-sponsor.
The academy's catchment area comprises parts of north Aylesbury, including Quarrendon, Elmhurst and Watermead, as well as the villages of Hardwick, Weedon, Whitchurch, Oving and Pitchcott. It also includes both the Berryfields and Weedon Hill developments.
Quarrendon County Secondary School was officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh. on 13 June 1958. It was later known as Quarrendon Upper School and finally as Quarrendon School. Quarrendon School officially closed on 10 July 2009.
Quarrendon School was placed on special measures, for the second time in five years, in September 2004. This was followed with regular inspections by Ofsted, which included interviews with pupils during lessons to determine their attitude towards the school and the teaching standards. The school came out of special measures in November 2006, after making satisfactory progress due to the improvements, which the school had implemented. The school is now planning to apply to DCSF to become a specialist Science and Technology College.
The school's sixth form reopened in September 2008.
