History
The school was founded as the Aylesbury Technical College in 1947. The original school was built in Walton Road Aylesbury and remained there until the early 1960s. The School had been a "selective" school for many years requiring a "pass" in the "11 Plus" to attain entry. When it moved to its current site on Oxford Road, the name was changed to Aylesbury Technical High School. In 1965, the school was renamed as The Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School, after Sir Henry Floyd, the then Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
