Re: Chesham VS Burnham Grammar
My 2 boys are at BGS and doing well. It's not the most impressive school in the way it presents itself but as the elder has just gone into 6th form with 8A* 4A they must be doing something right!
More importantly (which admittedly is easy to say with the GCSEs under 'my' belt) they're very happy and - as the school is less 'full on' than some of the others seem to be - we have a decent work/life balance. And I do like the way they make a HUGE thing out of every child achieving their full potential so there's no nagging feeling that your child's being sidelined if they're not one of the uber-boffs.

Re: Chesham VS Burnham Grammar
Which did you prefer when you visited?
There's quite a distance between these two schools; which one are you in catchment for?
I would go with the easier journey.
