Choirs
The Godolphin School has three wonderful choirs. The Godolphin Voices, the Godolphin Vocal Ensemble and the Godolphin Choir.
Godolphin Voices
It is one of the highlights of life at Godolphin that all First and Second Years are given the chance to sing in a choir directed by our choir leader with a national reputation. Mrs Sparkhall has directed the Godolphin Voices for several years now and all of our current First and Second Year girls are involved in it. They sing a wide range of music both popular and serious will produce a wonderful sound.

Godolphin Choir
Many girls at Godolphin enjoy singing but dislike the idea of auditioning. This is why anyone in Third Year to Upper Sixth has the opportunity to come to Godolphin Choir and there is no audition required! The Choir sing in the Carol Service and all of our main concerts performing a wide range of music in many different styles.
