Godolphin and Latymer is an independent day school for girls aged 11–18 in London. The school blends buildings with facilities, including an performing arts centre housed in a converted church, a music school, a flood-lit sports hall with climbing wall, and art, design and science spaces. The curriculum follows the British system with the IB Diploma in the Sixth Form, and language learning starts in Year 7 with French, German and Mandarin; Year 8 students choose two languages and carry them into Year 9. In the Sixth Form, students can study A Levels or the Diploma, with many taking the Extended Project Qualification. The G&L Futures programme develops critical, collaborative and evidence-based skills through year-group projects. The school's ethos emphasizes scholarship and service, reflecting its philanthropic origins. A rich extracurricular programme includes music and drama, debating and Model United Nations, Duke of Edinburgh, and community outreach with neighbouring primary schools.
