From September 2026, two of Wiltshire’s most successful and respected schools, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin, will unite to create something extraordinary: Chafyn-Godolphin. Together, they will form Wiltshire’s leading all-through co-educational day school for children aged 2–19, with boarding for Senior and Sixth Form students, offering an outstanding education in the heart of Salisbury.
We bring together the very best of both schools, delivering a rich, broad and inspiring learning experience for every child. As one school, pupils will benefit from outstanding teaching and learning opportunities, with the use of an exceptional range of facilities across our two sites – from the expansive sports pitches and outdoor spaces at Bourne Avenue to the Performing Arts Centre, art studios, science laboratories and a 25-meter indoor swimming pool at Milford Hill.
Becoming an all-through school enables us to offer a truly seamless educational journey, guiding and supporting each child’s academic and personal development from their first steps into nursery through to completing their A Levels in sixth form. This development reflects our shared values and vision: a commitment to continuity, excellence and ensuring every child is known, supported and inspired to achieve their very best.
