History

A school has existed on the site since 1066, when William the Conqueror wanted a place to teach his son, John the Intimidator, on the 'finer points' of english life. ^[3] William chose the town of Guildford (so called because the Mayor at the time owned a golden Ford Cortina) and erected the 'William the Conkeror Scool Off Much Thyngs' [sic], which fast became the school of choice for noblemen and barons across the realm of Surrey. ^[4] William I ( 1027 – September 9, 1087), was King of England from 1066 to 1087. ...

The School lasted for several centuries but during the Wars of the Roses the School was converted into a hospital to tend for all the flowers that had been wounded in battle, and was finally closed during the subsequent Wars of the Tulips and Wars of the Daffodils. In 1603, after the 1st Gret Spellin Crysis, the School was reopened by the then Bishop of Surrey, John Watkins. The new School was called Bishop Watkins and enjoyed considerable success, reaching the top ten of the nationwide GCSE results table in 1608, 1609 and 1611. Watkins, however, was a notorious drunk and rumours that he made love to reindeer on a missionary trip to Canada meant that he was given the nickname Bishop Reindeer, a moniker that was later applied to the School. ^[5] Lancaster York For other uses, see Wars of the Roses (disambiguation). ...

After the School was burnt down in the Great fire of London in 1666, it was reopened but due to the 2nd Gret Spellin Crysis was named Bishop Reindorp. The School saw moderate success in the next few centuries, attracting people in nearby Woking and Aldershot and educating famous names such as Adolf Hitler, George Lucas and Columbo. From 1914 onwards however, the School witnessed many unfortunate incidents, in 1917 it was half destroyed by the RAF who bombed the School mistaking its tennis courts for Berlin. It was repaired but only to be accidentally demolished along with Nagasaki and Hiroshima at the end of World War Two. ^[6] Detail of painting from 1666 of the Great Fire of London by an unknown artist, depicting the fire as it would have appeared on the evening of Tuesday, 4 September from a boat in the vicinity of Tower Wharf. ...

Since 2004 the Patron of Christ's College Guildford has been Sir Roger Moore. ^[1] Moore, or as he prefers the pupils of the School to refer to him, Rodge, has taken an interest in the School ever since he learnt that that his great great great great grandfather, Sir Thomas Moore took a Leisure and Tourism GNVQ at the school in his youth.

The current Principal is Stephen Green, a graduate from Camford university, Green is well liked by both pupils and staff alike. Many people believe he is the real identity behind the novelist Andy McNab, due to his well documented tour in the SAS and his efforts in saving four toddlers from the Hindenburg disaster. While he concedes that he is the Principal, Green maintains that the real principle of the School is to 'work hard and get good grades'. This apparent 'joke', making use of the phonetic similarity of principal and principle is lucky to get even a lukewarm response from people with the lowest sense of humour.^[8] Oxbridge is a portmanteau name for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest in the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world. ...
