Curriculum
The curriculum is a framework for setting out the aims of a programme of education, including the knowledge and the understanding to be gained at each stage (intent); for translating that framework over time into a structure and narrative, within an institutional context (implementation) and for evaluating what knowledge and understanding pupils have gained against expectations (impact).We aim to provide a rich and varied curriculum that enables equality of opportunity to learn. Students are inspired to become the best versions of themselves, contributing positively to the world around them. The school curriculum seeks to provide outstanding personal development by supporting, promoting and instilling the values of GCS – Give, Create and Succeed throughout Year 7 to 13.

Things to note
Creativity
At Guildford County, we believe that all students have the ability to create. Not just in the areas typically associated with being creative but rather that all learning is creative learning offering stretch, challenge and accessibility to all.Creativity is the ability to think about a task or a problem in a new or different way, or, the ability to use the imagination to generate new ideas. It is, therefore, multi-disciplinary. It allows us to find patterns and make connections, often in ways that are not always immediately obvious. At the root of this, is inspiring curiosity, engagement and adaptability.
PE and Sport
At Guildford County School we are proud of our reputation for providing excellent sporting provision and coaching for athletes of all abilities. Sport at Guildford County is rich with history and tradition, balanced with modern day emerging sports, providing students with a purposeful and rewarding physical education experience. Guildford County is successful in a variety of sports and its success on the field makes a major contribution to the students’ academic achievement, co-curricular participation and social skills.
