Extra-curricular activities: Our vibrant co-curricular programme is a cornerstone of school life; designed to inspire, challenge, and empower every girl to explore her passions, develop new talents, and grow into a confident, capable young woman. Rooted in our values of curiosity, confidence and connections, our extensive range of clubs, societies, and enrichment opportunities offers something for everyone. Whether it is debating global issues, performing on stage, representing the school in sport, or volunteering in the community, our girls are encouraged to step forward, try something new, and lead with confidence.
Pastoral care: Pastoral care and academic development go hand in hand. Girls perform best when they are happy and secure, so the caring and supportive community gives girls a real sense of belonging. Student wellbeing is a key priority for Royal High School Bath and the school understands the pressures, uncertainties and challenges moving from childhood to adulthood. The pastoral care aims to nurture and support each student throughout their academic career, making sure every girl has a positive experience.
Outstanding characteristics: The school is a mix of day and boarding girls, a happy, thriving community, free from stereotypes. The girls build confidence and high self-esteem, whilst fostering the RHB learner qualities; creative, brave, sparky, inquisitive, collaborative, reflective, underpinned by the core value of kindness. Bath is part of The Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) which has 24 UK schools and two academies nationwide. RHB is an innovative, high-achieving school, providing a wonderful environment for girls to excel academically, thrive emotionally and develop socially. Girls develop a deeper understanding of their studies, to help them see the connections within and between disciplines.
