Royal High School Bath Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Highly Recommend”


As a father of two very different girls, I am delighted that we made the decision to send them to RHSB Prep at a young age. Our eldest was at risk of not reaching her potential but will soon enter Year 9 with two scholarships and absolutely adores every aspect of RHSB life. Her extroverted younger sister also couldn’t be happier, thriving in an environment where every girl is known and celebrated for who they are. RHSB really understand girls and we are delighted that, with hindsight, we made such a good decision so early on.”
“A school where each student is known and understands that they all have something to offer”


I have two daughters here; both very different in character and both with very different strengths and weaknesses, and yet the school caters to both of them, providing inspiring creative, academic and sporting opportunities, with lots of fun being had along the way!
“A caring and ambitious place for girls”


Initially we were unsure whether an all-girls school was right for our daughter but her confidence has come so far since she started last September. Our experience of the Royal High as parents of a year 7 girl is that it's not stuffy and very caring. The mental health initiatives are impressive and the mentoring and support from older pupils works very well. Girls seem free to be themselves. It feels like a very modern school with traditional high standards and results.

ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL BATH RAISES MONEY FOR LOCAL HOSPITAL


Staff and pupils from Royal High School Bath presented their local hospital, RUH, with a cheque for £2,855 at their Prep School site, located just five minutes away from the Royal United Hospital.

The money will go towards Artsparks on the children’s ward - part of the RUH’s Art at the Heart campaign - which helps to provide art workshops for young patients and their families and carers.

 

PASTORAL CARE AT ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL BATH

 

 

As part of the GDST, we pride ourselves on being experts in the pastoral care of girls and know that girls achieve their best and are most motivated to learn when they are happy and feel supported and valued. 

We take mental and physical health and well-being very seriously at Royal High School Bath and have a comprehensive pastoral structure in place throughout the School. 

We specialise in helping girls to work their way through issues with robust tutoring, one-to-one meetings with Heads of Year, an extensive network of staff who will support your daughter through her school journey including our Wellbeing Angels, counsellors and a nursing team. In addition, our Boarders are supported by their House Mistress, Matron and Boarding Assistants who act as family for students during the term time. 

We also run a Peer Mentoring programme for which we are recognised as a Beacon School by the Mental Health Foundation. 

We want every girl to enjoy their time at Royal High School Bath, achieve their potential and make their mark on the world.

GIRLS FIRST - OUR ETHOS

 

We're proud to be part of the Girls’ Day School Trust family of 25 schools across England and Wales. It's a modern, vibrant organisation where the teaching and wellbeing of all its pupils takes absolute priority.

The academic results it achieves are among the best in the country, and the young women leaving its schools for university and the world beyond have the confidence, courage, composure and commitment to thrive wherever their futures take them.

Royal High School Bath is an independent all girls’ school and as such all of our lessons have been tailored to the way that girls learn. We have a long history of specialising in girls’ education and are proud of our reputation as a kind, supportive and academically excellent school.
