About

Godstowe School Shrubbery Road High Wycombe Buckinghamshire HP13 6PR Tel: 01494 529273 Godstowe School Shrubbery Road High Wycombe Buckinghamshire HP13 6PR Tel: 01494 529273 Welcome to Godstowe, and I hope you enjoy exploring our school and all that we have to offer.

As we celebrate 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 prep school for girls aged 7-13, with a welcoming Pre-Prep and Nursery for girls and boys aged 3-7. Approximately a third of our Prep girls 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 girls for their chosen senior schools either at 11+ or 13+ and for life beyond the classroom.
