About

Welcome to Garth Hill College and thank you for taking the time to look around our website. We are proud to be a modern, successful secondary school providing a first class education in the heart of Bracknell . The college serves the community of North Bracknell and surrounding areas for pupils aged 11-19.

Following a successful OFSTED inspection in October 2024 , we are now on the next stage of our journey to excellence to move from good to great. Success has been built upon high standards and clear expectations. For example, we expect pupils to always try their best, behave well and respect others.

We praise and reward, but there are clearly understood sanctions for unacceptable conduct. We offer a wide and diverse range of opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, to supports pupils personal and academic development. Well established partnerships with local businesses, community groups and organisations enrich that offer.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
