About Godstowe Preparatory School
Welcome to Godstowe, and I hope you enjoy exploring our school and all that we have to offer. As we celebrated our 125th anniversary in 2025, we reflect on the qualities that continue to make Godstowe a truly special school, and the wonderful journey that begins for each and every child who joins us.
It is an absolute privilege to lead this aspirational and vibrant community. Godstowe is a happy, thriving co-educational day and boarding school for girls aged 2 -13 and boys aged 2 - 8. Approximately a third of our Prep pupils are boarders, and all benefit from a nurturing environment that sets the highest standards in academics, character development, and pastoral care. Our goal is to prepare happy, confident, and successful pupils for their chosen senior schools either at 11+ or 13+ and for life beyond the classroom.
Children with a whole range of talents thrive at Godstowe; we are a non-selective school that works hard to achieve amazing outcomes. Walking into classrooms, lessons are imaginative, bespoke and of a high quality, where true wellbeing is valued above all. Each pupil is seen and known as an individual and our dedicated and experienced teaching and pastoral team are exceptional. Our young learners are guided to think broadly and independently, and make connections.
