Christ’s College is a thriving school serving the non-Christian and Christian community of Guildford, Woking and the surrounding areas. We are proud of our Church heritage which has helped us to create an environment that is inclusive and supportive of all. Our aim for the children at Christ’s College is that they should develop the Core Values of Service, Respect, Stewardship, Co-operation and Love. We know that success only comes through hard work and perseverance; life can be difficult, and therefore we all need resilience, but we need to work with optimism and believe that our hard work will open up great opportunities for us.
Over the last few years Christ’s College has continued to grow. We have seen a significant rise in the percentage of children gaining 5 or more GCSEs. We are determined to build upon our high standards and ensure that students at Christ’s College achieve excellent outcomes.
Pupils are rightly proud of their successes nationally, for example winning a national handball competition, and winning the University of Manchester’s Alan Turing cryptography competition.
“Pupil’s personal development is promoted effectively and staff care deeply about their wellbeing.” (OFSTED report October 2022)
Outcomes are significantly improved year on year, with structures and processes in this area implemented to secure sustainability and continuous improvements.
