Welcome

Founded in 1888, Guildford High School is one of the most successful independent day schools in the country. We provide a first-class education for 1,000 girls aged 4-18, across our Junior School and Senior School, which co-exist on the same site in Guildford, Surrey.

The moment you walk through the doors at Guildford High School you can feel the buzz, the energy and the excitement. In the corridors you hear laughter, chatter and debate. Our pupils embrace challenges both in and out of the classroom. As a result, they excel in so many areas. We see the breadth and depth of their achievements not only in academic results, but through the multitude of other interests which they pursue to the highest level. Most of all, you become aware of the warmth, friendship, happiness and passion for learning and for new challenges which exist within our school. It is a pleasure and privilege to be part of this exceptional community.

Why GHS?

A supportive environment

All that we do at Guildford High School is designed with our pupils in mind. We nurture our pupils as they grow up in our care, providing an environment of openness, where pupils feel safe and secure, where there is trust and kindness. Our aims are simple: we want everybody to be happy and be positive about their own abilities and talents.

Why GHS?

A skills based curriculum

A love of learning and intellectual curiosity is fostered throughout the school; from the youngest to the oldest pupils. Our teachers encourage pupils to learn creatively and collaboratively and help them to maximise their potential. Our style of teaching encourages the exploration of ideas and the discovery of interests in academic subjects, music, sport, art and beyond the classroom.
