Recent coverage
In June 2025, Goodwyn School underwent an Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, meeting all required standards. The inspectors highlighted strengths such as a harmonious environment, high-quality teaching, outstanding pastoral care, effective safeguarding, vibrant early years provision, and a strong sense of social responsibility among pupils. The school's curriculum is broad and balanced, based on the National Curriculum, aiming to develop positive, responsible, and confident individuals. It includes specialist teaching in music, French, and physical education, with older pupils learning Latin and German. The curriculum is enriched by extracurricular activities like drama, chess, gymnastics, and various educational visits. As of May 2026, the headteacher is Mr. Struan Robertson. The school has a non-selective admissions policy and offers nursery provision. It has a capacity of 223 pupils and currently enrolls 172 students. In April 2018, Goodwyn School received an Ofsted inspection rating of "Good." The school does not have Key Stage 2 SATs results, as independent schools are not required to participate in these assessments.
