Garth Hill College
Welcome to Garth Hill College
Garth Hill College serves the community of North Bracknell and surrounding areas for pupils aged 11-19. Success has been built upon high standards and expectations. We expect pupils to take responsibility, to work as hard as staff, always try their best, and to reflect upon, and learn from failure and success. We also expect our young people to demonstrate good behaviour, self-discipline and respect. We praise and reward good citizenship, but there are clearly understood sanctions for unacceptable conduct. Garth Hill is a happy and vibrant place of learning.

Pastoral Care
The College’s pastoral structure is organised as a house system. Each of the four main ‘schools’ is also home to one of the College’s four houses. There are four houses: Lawrence, Fielden, Brownlow and Haversham. Each house is made up of two or three tutor groups from each curriculum year, typically 11-12 tutor groups in total.

We Love ToSocialise
Year 10 students recently took part in mock interviews with business volunteers from Dell, Teaching Personnel, Waitrose, SUEZ and Bracknell Forest Council. It was an amazing opportunity to experience real-world interview scenarios, receive valuable feedback from industry professionals, and build confidence for their future careers.
In addition to the interviews, students attended an informative apprenticeship presentation delivered by Pathways CTM. The session highlighted the benefits of apprenticeships at AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment), outlined the various roles available, and featured helpful advice from current apprentices sharing their personal experiences.
Students also had the chance to gain further insight into the world of work through a panel discussion with business professionals. Speakers included Mike Rhodes (Dell), Otto (Kollective Technologies), Xuxia (PwC), and Leanne Hazlewood and Steve Holgate (SUEZ). They shared their career journeys, industry experiences, and practical advice to support students in planning for future success. 18 Likes
Our Rise@GHC students stepped back in time when they visited the Chalke Farm History Festival – an inspiring, hands-on celebration of the past!
The students immersed themselves in unforgettable experiences, including:
✳️ Crawling through a WW2 trench
✳️ Using Morse code and learning about the Special Operations Executive
✳️ Exploring the sights, sounds, and stories of Medieval life
From decoding secret messages to handling historic artefacts and re-enacting moments from the past, our students fully embraced this unique opportunity to live history—not just learn it.
The Chalke History Festival is famous for its immersive and interactive approach, blending captivating talks, live performances, and real-life historical experiences. The visit was a true highlight of our term — we can’t wait to return next year!

A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and staff who helped make Prom 2025 such a special and memorable evening!
We had a fantastic turnout to see the prom arrivals, and our Year 11 students looked absolutely spectacular in their outfits. It was a truly fitting celebration to mark the end of their first five years with us — and we hope to see many of them continuing their journey at GH6.
📸 We’ll be sharing information next week on how to access the official prom photos taken on the night — so keep an eye out! 68 Likes
