Proposed Crossing outside Guildford County School - Road Safety Consultation

The safety of our students, staff and wider community is always a key priority and this proposed crossing has the potential to make a significant difference to the safety of everyone travelling to and from school. We would be extremely grateful if you could take a few moments to scan the QR code on the attached poster and complete the consultation. It is vital that as many members of our school community as possible share their views so that Surrey County Council can fully understand the importance of this proposal. The consultation closes on Friday 24th July 2026, so please do respond before this date. Read Full Article

GCSE Results 2025

Guildford County School Celebrates Superb Results at GCSE Level Guildford County School is proud to present our GCSE results as we celebrate with our outgoing Year 11 class of 2025. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to report that a third of all of our grades were at 7, 8 or 9, with 2 thirds of all grades at what is termed a ‘strong pass’ at GCSE – that is grade 5 or above. Individual subjects tell a story of excellence too – Mathematics report over 40% of all grades at a grade 7 or above; a similar story has played out in History with just under 40% at grade 7 or above; and, as a Music Specialist College, we are delighted to announce that 50% of all Music GCSE grades were also at a grade 7 or above. All told, this places our students in an incredibly strong position to enter our Sixth Form provision and we cannot wait to welcome both them and a raft of external applicants to join us in September.  They will arrive in a Sixth Form that has just secured the best results in our history, with 3 of our outgoing Year 13 students securing places to study at Oxford; 7 students securing places to read medicine; 5 students being awarded places to read Law; and 1 being offered a place at Musical Conservatoire.  All of this alongside a range of high quality apprenticeships, gap years and other professional opportunities. For students and families considering where to study for A levels, both our GCSE and A Level results underline why Guildford County Sixth Form is such a strong choice.  We offer a track record of exceptional teaching, personalised support and a vibrant, ambitious learning community that equips students to excel in any path that they choose. This year’s success is all the more remarkable given the challenges that this cohort faced earlier in their education due to the pandemic.  Our students have shown determination, resilience and a commitment to excellence that will serve them well in the years ahead.  The results also reflect the strength of partnership between our school, our families and our wider community and the unwavering dedication of our outstanding staff. We are especially proud of our top performing students, all of whom averaged at least a grade 8 across all subjects.  For their exceptional results, our special recognition goes to: Iris Isabelle Charlotte Oliver Hayden Samuel India – 9 GCSEs at grade 9 and 1 at grade 8 Samuel Daisy – 9 GCSEs at grade 9 and 1 at grade 8 Jagoda Freya Katy – 10 GCSEs at grade 9 Karina – 9 GCSEs at grade 9 and 1 at grade 8 Isu – 9 GCSEs at grade 9 and 1 at grade 8 Caitlin Steve Smith, Headteacher at Guildford County School, said “We are really pleased with the results our students have achieved today.  A third of all grades being awarded in the top band of grades 7-9 is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our student and staff community.  Following exceptional results at A level last week, we now look forward to welcoming not only internal applicants, but also many new external students into our Year 12 provision.  Aside from our Year 11 students, we also want to make special mention today of the 15 students in Years 9 and 10 who took Heritage Language GCSEs and achieved grade 9s; an amazing achievement for them all.” Guildford County Sixth Form is now welcoming applications for September 2025.  With a proven record of academic excellence and a commitment to helping every student realise their potential, there has never been a better time to join our thriving community.Read Full Article
