Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Surrey County Council, in December 2015 Christ's College converted to academy status and joined the Good Shepherd Trust.

The archaeological discoveries made at Christ's College, are of great significance for both the local area and wider region.

[3] In 2008, the College moved to the new building which was designed by DSDHA with an exceptionally high standard of teaching spaces and facilities.

The new building cost about £20 million and was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize in early 2010 where the school was described as a 'small city' with the main atrium being the 'town square'.

One parent said, "The school has made massive strides forward since the appointment of the current principal, and standards, expectations and behavior have improved drastically."

The SIAMS inspection[7] explores the question, “How effective is the school's distinctive Christian vision, established and promoted by leadership at all levels, in enabling pupils and adults to flourish?” and the college was graded "Excellent" overall.

As a result of the exceptionally strong sense of family promoted by school leaders, students flourish at Christ's College.
