What is Royal High School Bath like?

Nestled on the hillside with stunning views over, and easy access to, the affluent City of Bath World Heritage Site, Royal High School Bath welcomes both domestic day girls (3-18) and boarders from both home and overseas (11-18.)

Royal High School Bath is a far cry from the austere girls’ schools of yore. The impressive, traditional looking main Victorian building belies the warm and contemporary interior, where girls are clearly encouraged to smile, share successes, and explore their passions.

The school and its occupants feel like an accurate reflection of Bath itself, where a wonderful heritage provides the perfect setting for a dynamic, cosmopolitan and progressive atmosphere. 

Would Royal High School Bath be suitable for my child?

A broad range of subjects and co-curricular activities are provided, with no specific speciality. The state-of-the-art £2 million Steinway Music School opened its doors in 2020, providing access to world-class instruments, masterclasses with top musicians and performance opportunities throughout the year. Languages, theatre and STEM are also real strengths.

How can I apply to Royal High School Bath?

Boarding starts from age 11+, with normal entry points in Years 7, 9, and 12. Early registration is highly recommended. Year 12 boarding is particularly sought after so competition for places increases exponentially at this point.
