Chafyn Godolphin (newly unified from September 2026) offers a world-class education for a changing world. Our purpose is to make the world a better place by developing individuals who are confident, kind and curious, ready to lead with authenticity and shape the future positively.

Since welcoming boys as well as girls in 2025, every classroom, conversation and experience has been enriched. From September 2026, we are proud to be Chafyn Godolphin: a leading all-through co-educational day school for children aged 6 months to 19, with boarding available from Year 4 through to Sixth Form, in the heart of Salisbury.
