What The Good Schools Guide says..
Sports facilities are gold standard, and the school prides itself on the fact that, bar rowing, everything takes place on-site. In addition to the dozen outdoor pitches, there’s a modern sports centre with dance studio, fitness suites and a huge galleried sports hall with further courts. A big draw for sixth form is the choice of either the A level or the IB pathway, with 25-30 per cent opting for the latter and the teachers working across both. ‘They are the best at IB,’ feel some parents – and the results reflect this, with school consistently in the top 10 of global IB rankings.

What the school says...
Godolphin and Latymer is a modern, innovative and forward-thinking school where quality teaching inspires
bright girls and fosters independent thought and learning. The school takes pride in its longstanding reputation for academic excellence, but there is so much more to life at G&L. Individual talents are nurtured and championed, with students encouraged to develop their passions, take responsible risks and to embrace challenges. The wide school curriculum – including both A level and IB options at Sixth Form - coupled with an outstanding range of extra-curricular activities, provide numerous opportunities for pupils to engage in school life and pursue their particular interests.
The ethos is simple: every girl matters. Personalised support is the cornerstone of the approach. Students are encouraged to speak, share, listen and flourish both within the school community and beyond. With dedicated support and guidance from teaching and pastoral staff, girls have outstanding opportunities to grow and develop into considerate, compassionate and courageous young women. ...Read more

Head
Since 2017, Dr Frances Ramsey MA PGCE and DPhil (medieval history from Merton College, Oxford). Previously principal at Queen’s College London for eight years. Before that, she spent 17 years at Westminster School where she held a range of high-profile roles including head of history, director of studies and running a boarding house. True to her modest nature, she omitted to mention her highly esteemed title of Master of the Queen’s Scholars – and the first female one at that.
Erudite and incisive, Dr Ramsey initially thought she would become a university lecturer but ended up spending her entire career in central London secondary schools. ‘She runs a tight ship and has a great team in place,’ parents told us. They also appreciate that she prioritises pupil and staff wellbeing...
