History
Little Kingshill Combined School has grown from a small Chilterns village school, housed in a Victorian building, to a combined school with a Nursery and Primary units. The school is controlled by Buckinghamshire County Council. The school is now housed in separate modern blocks for KS1 and KS2. The school has a wide range of faciliites including a modern ICT suite and large outdoor playing fields. It also offers many clubs and activities after school hours. The Nursery Class is situated on the other side of the road in the original 1887 Victorian building. However, liaison between Nursery and Reception teachers is close, the transition from Nursery to Reception is very smooth and the children settle quickly into life at school. The school motto is 'Learning has no Limits'.
The Village Hall is incorporated into the school site. The school uses it during the day and the local community uses it during evenings and weekends. This allows the school the use of two halls, the Village Hall and its own, for most of the week and this provides an extensively used community resource.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
