Ethos and aims

Guildford High School is inspiring, dynamic and fun. We aspire to live life to the full. We are grateful for and seek to make the most of the opportunities we have been given. We thrive on being busy, getting involved and trying new things. We are serious and ambitious about our work and our other activities, but we pursue them with joy, positivity, and a sense of fun. We seek to foster in our pupils a lifelong love of learning.

We, as a community, are inspiring each other to be the very best that we can be.

Mrs KAREN LAURIE, HEAD

All that we do at Guildford High School is designed with our pupils in mind.

We want our pupils to lead happy and fulfilling lives and to be positive about their own gifts and abilities.
