School Profile

Godstowe is an independent day and boarding School for girls aged three to 13 and boys aged three to seven.

What sets Godstowe apart is its non-selective entry policy. The children who join do not need to sit an entrance exam, and yet Godstowe consistently achieves unrivalled academic results - half of Year 8 girls left the School with a Scholarship in 2009.

Yet Godstowe is not an academic 'hot-house'. Girls and boys are happy and confident, polite and considerate. It is through innovative teaching ideas, a young and dynamic staff and first-rate grounds and facilities that children thrive and succeed.

Every week, over 50 'Enrichment Curriculum' activities are available to try after school. Children gain confidence on the 40-foot indoor climbing wall or during a fencing match, which spills over into the classroom. They can let off steam racing remote-controlled cars, relax in yoga or expand their minds in philosophy club. Supervised homework sessions are also available, as well as a supper and breakfast club.

Parents who wish their daughters to join Godstowe's boarding community can be sure of a safe, homely and happy environment. A recent inspection by the Commission for Social Care praised the School highly for its pastoral care, excellent standards of accommodation and fun-packed weekend schedule.

OFSTED put Godstowe's nursery and Early Years classes at the top level in every category of inspection. The boys and girls in the pre-prep thrive in a colourful and nurturing environment that widens their horizons and instils in them a love of learning.

Appointments to view the School can be made at any time, and informal open mornings are scheduled each term.
