Royal High School Bath is a leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3-18 situated on the edge of the beautiful city of Bath. We provide an outstanding, girl-centred, contemporary education as individual as the students in our school. We are proud to be part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), the leading network of independent girls’ schools in the UK. As part of the GDST the School has strong values – girls first, forward-thinking and fearless. As the only boarding school in the group, Royal High School Bath offers homely and stylish, modern living for girls in Years 7-11 and in the separate Sixth Form boarding house.
Sixth Form students can choose either A Level or International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as their pathway to university - students consistently achieve excellent grades and access to their first-choice university in the UK and overseas. IB students regularly achieve well above the global average and in 2024, we achieved an average point score per student of 36 (higher than the global average). Royal High Bath is a school where every girl matters, every voice is heard and every girl is empowered to explore and try anything. It's a school that nurtures compassion as much as excellence, where girls spark off one another and support each other as they build skills and confidence for life.
Royal High Bath. For Girls. For Life.
“Our students are encouraged to be brave, resilient, independent thinkers; developing new skills whilst being supported by our welcoming community.”
