Godstowe Preparatory School
School Profile
Godstowe is an independent day and boarding School for girls aged three to 13 and boys aged three to seven.
What sets Godstowe apart is its non-selective entry policy. The children who join do not need to sit an entrance exam, and yet Godstowe consistently achieves unrivalled academic results - half of Year 8 girls left the School with a Scholarship in 2009.
Yet Godstowe is not an academic 'hot-house'. Girls and boys are happy and confident, polite and considerate. It is through innovative teaching ideas, a young and dynamic staff and first-rate grounds and facilities that children thrive and succeed.
Every week, over 50 'Enrichment Curriculum' activities are available to try after school. Children gain confidence on the 40-foot indoor climbing wall or during a fencing match, which spills over into the classroom. They can let off steam racing remote-controlled cars, relax in yoga or expand their minds in philosophy club. Supervised homework sessions are also available, as well as a supper and breakfast club.
Parents who wish their daughters to join Godstowe's boarding community can be sure of a safe, homely and happy environment. A recent inspection by the Commission for Social Care praised the School highly for its pastoral care, excellent standards of accommodation and fun-packed weekend schedule.
OFSTED put Godstowe's nursery and Early Years classes at the top level in every category of inspection. The boys and girls in the pre-prep thrive in a colourful and nurturing environment that widens their horizons and instils in them a love of learning.
Appointments to view the School can be made at any time, and informal open mornings are scheduled each term.
