Their review of our school says:

Godolphin and Latymer School is well known for both its academic success and warm atmosphere. Located just a short walk from the Hammersmith tube station, the day school for girls is situated on a six-acre campus that contains a mix of Victorian and modern buildings. The head, Dr Frances Ramsey, encourages her students to be compassionate and courageous, and to develop their own passions and interests. This is demonstrated by the wide variety of extracurricular activities on offer, from chess and journalism clubs, to fencing, rowing and kickboxing. The school places a similar emphasis on wellbeing and pastoral care, and protecting girls’ mental health. ‘The emphasis is on progress, not perfection, and on learning, not performance,’ according to the school.
