Godstowe was founded by two strong and progressive women. Their vision was for an innovative, academic and broad education for girls and, without a doubt, this continues to live on in the school today. 


Godstowe widely celebrates over a hundred years of success and history and as a non-selective school, together we achieve outstanding results and the right individual outcomes for all pupils in our care. Looking to the future, we have a fresh and modern outlook whilst cherishing our long-established school traditions and values and these make our school unique.


A true love of learning and life sits at the heart of all we do.


On touring and visiting the 12-acre school grounds a welcome awaits you and a chance to experience the inspiring and immersive learning opportunities on offer every day. There are around 90 lunchtime and after school clubs and activities running every week to inspire a range of talents and interests. Excellence in the Arts, Sports, Drama and Music is central to our success and the local and international trips schedule is ever growing and much loved.


Walking into classrooms, lessons are imaginative, bespoke and of a high quality and where true wellbeing is valued above all. Each girl is seen and known as an individual and our dedicated and experienced teaching and pastoral team are exceptional. Our young learners are guided to think broadly, think deeply and make connections. With a strong focus on wraparound care and a sense of fair play, the pupils at Godstowe are warm, collaborative, healthily competitive and very good company!


Our ethos is simple. All we want is for our girls and boys to be Confident, Happy and Successful. Indeed, if the first two are true, the third will almost certainly follow.  Success is defined in many ways, and we mean successful in the broadest sense: successfully kind, successfully courteous as well as successful in achieving a wide range of goals.  We keep our pupils busy and engaged, we entertain and intrigue them, encourage them, and excite them.  


Happy children are easy to teach.  With outstanding, highly qualified teaching staff as well as a strong and experienced pastoral team, excellent facilities, wonderful surroundings, a non-selective intake policy and a more positive, exuberant and industrious atmosphere than you will find in other schools, it is likely that most of our children will be happy to learn, happy to stretch themselves, happy to support each other, and happy to do whatever they can to take an active part in their own education.


The chance for our girls to stay until Year 8 as either full or flexi boarders or day girls, allows them all the chance to enjoy an exceptional final two years where they can develop and grow their leadership skills, their friendships and their confidence for all that life beyond Godstowe has to offer.


We strike a healthy balance between academic achievement and fostering key character and life skills that will enable them to lead fulfilling, happy and purposeful lives.


Our alumni speak with such enthusiasm about their time at the school, their successes, the confidence they gained and the friendships for life that they made. 


 


We are a family school where our parents are valued as much as our pupils and there are many opportunities for families to be involved in the ever growing and vibrant community events and celebrations on offer every term. We do work together as partners for the benefit of your children and our local and global charities and partnerships.
