Ethos & Values

"Learning together for success and progression"

Value each individual person based on their contributions to the college. Appreciation – appreciate the diversity of different student populations at the college learning from others’ cultural traditions and consider why different groups of people have different wants and needs. Liberation – ultimately, everybody should have the freedom to be who they are. Understanding – through educating yourself about how different groups of people have been treated and the plight that many still have to face on a daily basis. Esteem – respect others having learnt about their experiences; respect promotes positive mental health gained from a sense of self-worth.

Head Teacher's Message

Emma Young, Principal, describes Godalming College as a successful, vibrant learning community with outstanding Ofsted status and a strong emphasis on helping students become independent learners.

Curriculum Highlights

A Level BTEC GCSE EPQ (Extended Project Qualification)

Admissions Criteria

Level 3 entry requirements: A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4 to qualify for a Level 3 Study Programme. The absence of GCSE English Language will significantly restrict study programme options. Equivalent qualifications at Level 2 in vocational courses (at MERIT or above) are accepted where they are directly related to the courses which have been applied for. However these courses are not adequate for entry alone to an Advanced Study Programme and would always need to be accompanied by the minimum of 5 GCSEs grades 9-4. In addition to the above, each course has specific entry requirements to be met. These are published on the individual course pages in the Courses section of this website.
