Disgusting behaviour
I studied here a few years ago. I was predicted A*A* in both chemistry and psychology, but because of my health, I ended up slipping a bit in biology. I went to the head of biology to ask if they could increase it to an A, his response was “I’ll do it for you but under no circumstance are you to think that you are working at an A or ever will” - well Alex I’d like to let you know that I did get that A, and I am now a dental therapist, and on my way to become a dentist very soon. They were never...

Sociology.
Sociology department is awful. We missed out 2 subtopics and the head of department is clueless. I didn’t have the content to do well in my exams. Feeling very disappointed in the colleges failure to teach their students basic sociological knowledge.

The worst
Joke of a college unprofessional narrow-minded staff don't waste your time going to this place

Unprofessional conduct
Overall good teaching but a total lack of regard for students from the deputy principle. In this case the deputy principle will back her teachers over students as they are simple “friends”. Unprofessional conduct and bullying towards students. Would only recommend for the teaching.

To speak the truth you must risk being offensive
Another school that puts political correctness over an education Go here if you want to be spineless and uninformed, not if you want to be prepared for work in the modern world

Do Better!
I feel so upset that there is no free speech allowed anymore and that students including myself have been discriminated against for having a different perspective on a wide range of issues but I am willing to hear others speak even if I don't agree. You need to do better as this will hurt the students and their freedom to be individuals. Sad times for us all.

Tyranny not thought
You cannot have thought let alone education without at some point debating ideas. If everyone is expected to endorse assertions from on high then we must consider who determined these ideas and why and what gives them the authority to demand that we all submit? On what basis do these ideas have any validity? If it is objective truth then there would be no problem with anyone contesting them. Such indoctrination is itself tyranny and will lead to political totalitarianism. The fact that we have...

Outrageous student expulsion
Appalling treatment of any student who’s political views differ from the woke narrative, resulting in expulsion without redress.

Misconduct on issues Towards Students
Free thinking is the wish of most institutions -for their students to think for themselves and prepare for a future of having vast opinions and therefore fit into any work-place of their choosing. This is not the case however at Godalming Sixth form College, they are not all inclusive and restrict students for freedom of thought, thinking of matters for them selves or diverging into subject matters that interest them in an extracurricular fashion. This College should strive to support students in their interests on an ongoing basis and not on what they consider only to be politically correct in terms of what the overseers dictate.

Do not send your child here!!
The college safeguarding team is horrendous. They do nothing about sexual abuse/harassment. They primarily instigate rape culture. My child went to safeguarding about a male student who had sexually assaulted her on college premises and they did nothing. There has been several allegations on him and they still proceeded to keep him in. Absolutely disgusting

Room for improvement
The school overall is ok, but horrible treatment of students from the arts and design department. No motivation or encouragement for the students especially 2nd Year. Overly critical and passive aggressive. The school is over crowded with students (2000+ students) and very small areas such as the cafeteria and social study. Unpleasantly loud and most times students cannot find a table to sit down at. Quality of food and coffee is awful.

Bad education
Bad education provided. Explanations tend to be poor and many of my friends also didn't understand what teachers meant.,
