About the school

  • Godolphin was founded in 1726 with the purpose of teaching girls to “dance, work, read, write, cast accounts and become proficient in housewifery”.
  • The school has had success in music competitions and the Eco Schools Green Flag award. In 2023, it was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2023 School House Awards , sponsored by the Independent Schools Examinations Board. 
  • In addition to traditional programmes — which include the Combined Cadet Force, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and the cookery school Leiths Academy — there are numerous sporting, academic and creative clubs and activities, from acting to Zumba.
  • Godolphin cultivates compassion, empathy and respect through its core values: kindness, ambition, authenticity and courage. 
  • In 2023, students launched an equality, diversity and inclusion group promoting social justice. Godolphin works with local charities to instil social responsibility in students, and prioritises open communication with parents.
