Godolphin is a very special school which offers a broad education for girls from 3–18. Our whole school ethos is unique in Salisbury and it ensures the girls move from one stage of their education to the next. At Godolphin, we are extremely proud of our rich heritage. For almost three centuries the School has been educating generations of girls and striving to equip them with the intellectual, spiritual, moral, and physical credentials to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. The legacy of this long history is the wealth of wisdom, experience, and traditional values which underpin and inform the School as it operates today, very much in the 21st Century. We have a clear, modern outlook and are dedicated to equipping our girls and young women with the knowledge, qualifications, resilience, and character to take their place and be successful in the increasingly challenging world they will inherit. The culture of friendship, encouragement, support, and mutual respect within School is empowering and individuality is celebrated very firmly in the context of an inclusive, supportive, and dynamic community. Beyond the security and care of our home environment, we energetically and proactively provide the girls with opportunities to engage with the world at large. As well as achieving optimum academic results we believe we must be facilitating the development of confident, aware, well-informed independent young women with a sense of adventure and a real zest for life. Godolphin has always had a strong sense of identity, something we want to pass on to every one of our girls. We encourage them to follow their path, discover what they love and explore the many opportunities available to them Set in beautiful grounds just a five-minute walk from Salisbury city center, the girls benefit from excellent classroom teaching enhanced by outstanding pastoral care and co-curricular opportunity. Our strong sense of community underpins all that we do and we commit to ensuring that during her time with us, every girl will discover her strengths and leave us confident in her abilities prepared to embrace the challenges of her future. In Senior School, we instill self-motivation and a desire to achieve their personal best in all that the girls do. We have high expectations of everyone and passionate, dedicated staff to support and encourage them to discover and nurture their strengths. Our academic curriculum is extensive and demanding, providing stimulating opportunities which extend beyond the classroom, yet accessible to girls of different abilities allowing them to progress and flourish. Balance is essential for a truly successful life. Through our extensive co-curricular program, the girls enjoy a myriad of opportunities to support their personal development as well as their sense of social responsibility. The list of activities is endless and provides the breadth of education we know is essential to the education of every young person. Our girls are continually put to the test, encouraged to take risks and to be confident in who they are and what they want to become. We are very proud of the well-rounded, caring, and successful young women who leave us at 18. View full school
