Guildford County School
Guildford, GU2 4LU · Surrey · secondary school
8th of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 399 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 8.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 64.6 · 87 | 30% | 2.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.72 · 91 | 25% | 2.29 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.8 · 85 | 10% | 0.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 54.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.72 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 8.8 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. There are 1190 pupils in a school with 1187 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive entry process when it is over capacity? What support is available for pupils to maintain their progress scores? How does the school ensure equitable access to opportunities given its high attainment figures?
