The Journey of a Lifetime

Boarding at Godstowe School

Godstowe is the only prep school in the UK to offer boarding for girls aged 7-13. The school offers full, weekly and flexi boarding, with the vast majority choosing to stay for weekends. Boarding provides a nurturing homeaway-from-home that combines outstanding education with personal development - and a lot of fun!

Godstowe’s three boarding houses - Highlands, Walker and Turner - each offer a warm, family-style environment. Highlands, famously the inspiration for Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers, captures the magic of boarding life, filled with camaraderie, adventure and amazing experiences.

Beyond the classroom, boarders enjoy an exciting calendar of activities and trips. Evenings and weekends are packed with opportunities to explore new interests, from cookery, dance and drama to swimming, tennis and crafts. Girls love the weekend excursions, which range from theme park visits and ice skating to theatre trips and outdoor adventures like high ropes and paddleboarding. Special themed nights, movie marathons and baking challenges ensure there’s never a dull moment!

Pastoral care is at the heart of Godstowe’s boarding ethos. Dedicated staff provide roundthe-clock support, ensuring every girl feels valued and cared for. With its blend of academic enrichment, exciting experiences and a warm, family atmosphere, boarding at Godstowe is a journey of a lifetime.
