Guildford High School

About Guildford High School

Our school is a remarkable place and has been educating girls since 1888. Around one thousand girls, age 4 to 18, from Guildford and its surrounding towns and villages, enjoy exceptional facilities and inspired teaching. Guildford High School comprises a Junior School and Senior School, both on the same site. Whilst providing all-through education, each School has its own distinct personality and girls join us at many different entry points.

We consistently boast some of the best academic results in the country; awarded Independent Prep School of the Year (2015-16) and South East Independent Secondary School of the Year (2017-18) by The Sunday Times and more recently, the leading Independent school in the country for pastoral care by The Week Magazine (2018). Our staff are integral to delivering high quality education to the girls in our care, inspiring them to think and learn creatively. We seek to recruit and retain dynamic teaching and non-teaching staff that share in our vision and commitment.

What is in it for me?

A placement is a great chance to apply the skills you have learnt at university in a ‘live’ role and learn new ones. Within this 12-month placement, you will get the chance to work on a variety of projects such as design, events and digital marketing as well as exposure to more strategic marketing by working closely with our experienced Marketing Manager. The work will bring you into contact with people across the school and external organisations, so you will be constantly developing your interpersonal skills. You will also build your organisational and problem-solving abilities.

GHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all who work at the School to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be subject to child protection screening appropriate to the post including an enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and checks with previous employers.
