Godolphin praises individuality and creativity and is passionate about educating students for the 21st century. Boarders and day girls live together and there is a strong sense of community with a commitment to pastoral care.

Talk Education 2024 "With a nursery opening on site and the prep school moving to co-ed in September 2024, the senior switch to co-ed in 2025 and the school’s 300th anniversary in 2026, it’s going to be a fabulously busy and exciting few years for this Salisbury gem. It’s a warm and kind place where pupils achieve high standards without really realising how it has happened.This is a culture that fully supports young people, and the move to co-ed will see boys benefitting from Godolphin’s honest and consistent care and attention in the same way that girls have for nearly three centuries"

Good Schools Guide 2024 “Surround-sound pastoral care”

ISI Report 2023 “Pupils have highly developed social skills and are proud of the culture of kindness which is embedded in the boarding houses and across the school"

In an exciting development, Godolphin has recently moved to co-education, welcoming boys into our community. We believe this change will bring numerous benefits, including greater diversity of thought, enriched collaborative opportunities and better preparation for students for the realities of life beyond school.

At Godolphin, we strive to cultivate a culture of excellence, empowering every young person to explore their talents, broaden their perspectives and unlock their full potential. Our core values - ambition, authenticity, courage, and kindness - are embedded in every aspect of school life and form the foundation of our empathic culture.

Our mission is to support every student on their journey to adulthood, providing them with the skills and resilience necessary to confront life’s challenges and make a positive impact on the world. Godolphin offers all young people the opportunity to explore and develop their own personal narrative.
