About Guildford County School
At Guildford County School, we excel in all that we do. We are a high achieving, oversubscribed and non-selective, mixed state secondary school in Surrey and we are very proud of all aspects of our provision.
Music and sport, as well as a number of other co-curricular activities, sit alongside our established, yet progressive, academic curriculum. Students, staff and other stakeholders love our school. An academy converter, we are proud members of the Learning Partners Academy Trust and work tirelessly to serve our local community.
As a School founded in 1905 we have deep-rooted values and traditions that are centred around our C.A.S.T.L.E. framework. The castle is the symbol of our school – of its strength and of its safety and it is also the shorthand method by which we recall our values and behaviours of:
· Custodianship;
· Ambition;
· Standards;
· Transformation;
· Learning;
· Equity.
This framework shapes every aspect of our work at County and it feeds into our School Creed, which you can read in full on the strategy page of this website, here.
Guildford County School values and promotes excellence and recognises different kinds of success. We appreciate individual difference, foster respect, promote tolerance and the acceptance of others, encourage warm relationships and provide a place for all. Through providing opportunities for everyone to give and achieve we demonstrate our integrity, fairness and an ethical way of working. We are creative, open to innovation and initiative, whilst remaining respectful of our traditions. We aim to affirm in everyone a sense of identity, confidence and community.
Our school delivers consistently high examination results and has a strong reputation for academic success that is developed within a caring atmosphere that supports family values. Our dedicated staff work in partnership with students, creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust, which helps students to achieve their full potential. We provide outstanding and varied learning experiences and the school is renowned for its friendliness and student support. We operate a mantra of ‘kindness, but with a bottom line’.
As a Specialist Music college, we have a national reputation for excellence in this curriculum area. Music inspires our students, encourages self-esteem and helps them to work in teams and respect their peers. We take Music beyond the classroom to entertain and support the community and this highlights our drive for excellence in all aspects of school life.
Guildford County School educates the whole child and we have a wide-ranging programme of co-curricular activities that sit very much alongside our traditional class-based provision. We are delighted that our students grow into thriving, confident and resilient young people, well equipped for the challenges and opportunities that they will face when they leave us and enter honourable adulthood.
At Guildford County School, we have a deeply rooted sense of identity, we hold true to our framework of values and behaviours and we excel in all that we do.
