WHY GODOLPHIN ?

School Crest

Godolphin is a flourishing independent school for 420 boarding and day students aged eleven to eighteen. Founded in 1726, Godolphin is one of the oldest girls' schools in the country, and its relevant and responsive curriculum has consistently fostered excellence in the realm of women's education. Although founded in the traditon of the Church of England, with deeply rooted Christian values, Godolphin also welcomes those of other denominations and faiths.

Today, Godolphin students develop their talents within an environment dedicated specifically to their needs. Standards are exacting, but dedicated teachers and the warmth and friendship within the community encourage even less confident students to experiment, challenge and take risks. Intellectual and creative stimuli, ever-increasing confidence and secure personal relationships are thus at the heart of a Godolphin education.

Set in lovely grounds within easy walking distance of Salisbury's historic centre, Godolphin's excellent facilities comprise an attractive blend of modern and traditional architecture. Within this setting, Godolphin's teachers pursue the common goal of preparing today's young women to take their places with confidence in the world of tomorrow.
