Collaboration and camaraderie, drive and determination, inspiration and involvement, aspiration and achievement - these are just some of the qualities we hope will emerge from the snapshots of life at our school.
Royal High School is a leading independent Day and Boarding school of choice – providing an outstanding, contemporary, girl-centered education for girls aged 3-18.
From a group of three-year-old girls holding hands in the playground of our dynamic Nursery to a thriving Prep School in its exceptional surroundings of Cranwell House where a passion for discovery and exploring new horizons is ignited to our exceptionally high-achieving Senior School where lifelong friendships are forged and academic, sporting and personal triumphs are shared and onto our dynamic Sixth Form buzzing with confident, capable young women ready to take on the world, the RHS journey is a seamless one, with four life-enhancing experiences along the way.
This all-through, all-girls education is unique in Bath. We embrace all-around excellence and help every single girl to be the best she can. We do this with a rich and exciting curriculum, with every opportunity for girls to focus on their strengths, but also develop their skills and talents across the broadest academic, social and personal spectrum.
The school develops the capabilities and character needed to underpin success, and the young women leaving our schools for university and the world beyond have the confidence, courage, composure, and commitment to thrive wherever their futures take them.
We are the only school within The Girls' Day School Trust to offer boarding in addition to day provision and the only one to offer the International Baccalaureate at Sixth Form.
Our doors are always open to welcome the UK and international students who come here to achieve their very best academically, socially, and personally, have fun, make friends, and develop a global perspective in education.
The vision of the GDST is to be the leader in the field of girls’ education in the UK. The RHS shares this vision.
The Royal High School Bath, Prep, and Senior school aim to:
- Lead in girls’ education and be recognized as providing an outstanding day and boarding education, specifically tailored to the needs of girls in the 21st century
- Sustain a high-performance culture where each member of staff is committed to working towards the vision for the school and is accountable for their contribution
- Embed social responsibility through strong links with the community and offer a range of opportunities for girls to engage in service and leadership
- Drive innovation by encouraging and engaging in modern, innovative thinking and the implementation of new ideas inside and outside the classroom
- Be an exceptional school community that values staff and treats girls as individuals, enabling them to flourish in every area (academic, social, emotional, moral, spiritual, and cultural)
- Encourage every girl to be a force for positive change as they take their place in the global environment.
For the Prep School, these aims have been translated into the 5 R’s or ‘The Learning to Learn Agenda’. For Early Years and Key Stage 1 this involves:
- Get yourself ready
- Know where things belong
- Ask questions
- How am I doing?
- Try new things
- Keep trying
- Think about each other
As the girls move to Key Stage 2 these become known as Risk-taking, Resilience, Reflective, Relationships, and Resourceful. This underpins our aims in a relevant and meaningful way at all stages.
In Senior School our teachers and students work together to become prepared for university and the world beyond school. In all our activities we aim to provide opportunities to develop our Royal High School Learner Habits. By engaging with the '6C's' we aim to give our students the tools they need to be balanced, fulfilled, and successful life-long learners.
