Stuart Goddard was born an only child in Marylebone. One of the themes he used in his later work — oppressed minorities — was part of his inheritance; he is of Romnichal descent. His maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was a full-blooded Romany[2]. His uncle, mother's brother, disappeard when he travelled to Australia ahead of his wife Joan. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood[3]. He recalls "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table." His father, Leslie Goddard, worked as a chauffeur and his mother, Kathleen Smith, was a domestic cleaner, briefly working for Paul McCartney.

His parents divorced when Stuart was seven years old[4], mainly on account of Les Goddard's chronic alcoholism and abusive behaviour. Stuart's first school was Robinsfield Infants School, where he created a considerable stir by heaving a brick through one of the headmistress's office windows[5]. Matters were presumably settled to everyone's satisfaction as he continued to attend Robinsfield. He then gained a place at St Marylebone Grammar School and later became a school prefect.

After taking and passing his A levels, Stuart went on to the famous Hornsey College of Art to study graphic design and for a time was a student of Peter Webb. He later dropped out of Hornsey, short of completing his B.A, to focus on a career in music.
