Overview
Overview
Godolphin and Latymer began in 1861 as a boys' boarding school, reopened as an independent day school for girls in 1905, became a state grammar school after the Second World War and returned to independence in 1977. That sequence gives the present girls' day school a particularly layered history on Iffley Road, with provision from age 10 through Sixth Form and no boarding.
The curriculum keeps options broad before Sixth Form choices between A levels and the IB Diploma. Lower School study includes sciences, languages, Latin, computing, music, drama, art, technology and the humanities; Years 10 and 11 include English, Mathematics, three separate sciences and options. G&L Futures adds behavioural science, communication, social impact and entrepreneurship projects.
Concerts, choirs, orchestras, drama, sport, debating, Olympiad opportunities, Duke of Edinburgh and London and overseas visits give the week a strong co-curricular rhythm. The campus supports this mix with specialist learning and activity spaces, while music and art scholarships and means-tested bursaries form part of the offer.
Entry is selective at 11+ into Year 7 or 16+ into the Lower Sixth. Examination, interview and references are used, with Year 7 applicants joining the London 11+ Consortium assessment. The two entry stages lead into the same academically broad girls' day school.
