A serious medical emergency at Godalming College led to a significant emergency response and temporary restrictions across the campus on Monday morning.

In a message sent to parents and carers, the college confirmed that multiple ambulance crews, police officers, and an air ambulance were called to the site following the incident.

Emergency Response and Restrictions

According to the college, the situation required immediate action to ensure the safety of students and staff. Movement around the campus was temporarily restricted, including access to the car park, while students were asked to remain in their classrooms for approximately 15 minutes.

A small number of lessons were cancelled as a result of the disruption.

Officials were quick to reassure families that there was no external threat linked to the incident and that no other students were directly involved.

Support for Students

College leaders acknowledged the distress the incident may have caused, particularly given the limited information available at the time.

Students affected by the situation have been encouraged to speak with tutors, support officers, or safeguarding staff. The college confirmed that support has already been offered to those most closely impacted.

A spokesperson said the institution was “extremely proud” of how students handled the situation, praising their calm response and cooperation with staff instructions.

Warning Over Social Media Sharing

The college also addressed concerns about students filming the incident. Some individuals were reportedly seen taking photos and videos during the emergency.

Due to the sensitive nature of the situation, students were instructed to stop recording and put their phones away. A follow-up message has been circulated urging anyone who captured images or footage to delete them, stressing that sharing such material would be inappropriate.

Ongoing Situation

No further details about the individual involved in the medical emergency have been released.

The college has not indicated whether the emergency required hospital treatment or provided an update on the person’s condition.

Authorities have not reported any criminal or suspicious circumstances linked to the incident.
