Christ's College is a Church of Englandsecondary school and sixth form located in Guildford, Surrey, England, in the Bellfields neighbourhood.
The school was previously called Larch Avenue School, later being renamed Bishop Reindorp School, and took its current name in 2003. Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Surrey County Council, in December 2015 Christ's College was converted to academy status. The school is now part of the Good Shepherd Trust but continues to coordinate with Surrey County Council for admissions. Christ's College continues to be under the guidance of the Diocese of Guildford.
The main intake of students is from the area surrounding the school, but the school attracts students from as far as Woking and Ash.
In 2008 the college moved into a new, purpose built building, with the old 1970s style buildings being knocked down to make way for new rugby pitches. The new building allowed the school to be up-to-date with each classroom being fully equipped with Smart Boards and wireless technology. The new building cost in the region of £20million and allowed the college to move away from its dilapidated old buildings. The new building was short-listed for the RIBA Stirling Prize in early 2010 being described as allowing the school to be a 'small city' with the main atrium being the 'town square'
The College received a report from Ofsted in 2008 with the School having a 17% improvement in the maths department. January 2009 saw the opening of a new campus for Christ's College which would also be home to a ski centre. In February 2010, the Department for Education reported that the school had 516 students.
In 2013 the College was inspected by Ofsted again and was graded as 'Good', the number of pupils being 649 with 37 in the sixth form. This grading was an improvement on the college's previous one of 'satisfactory' with the Inspectors being impressed with the pupils progress from Year 7 and the ethos of the college which 'promotes learning'. The exam results from the summer exams gave an average value added score for pupils which was one of the best in the county.
