How children get a place in Godmanchester
The neighbourhood school
Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.
English schools in Quebec
Under the Charter of the French Language, a child goes to an English public school only with a certificate of eligibility, generally because a parent did most of elementary school in English in Canada. Everyone else attends French-language schools.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Godmanchester or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
