Scholarships

“ Academic excellence drives our educational philosophy; our scholars are integral to this and demonstrate it daily.”
Hadrian Briggs, Deputy Head Academic, Royal High School Bath

Challenging our most able

We challenge our students to become independent thinkers, equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in the modern world. Scholarships are awarded to girls with exceptional academic potential as well as those with a particular gift for Music, Dance, Drama, Sport, Art and Design Technology.

These students will benefit from specialist support and encouragement to help them excel in their particular field.

Academic Scholarships

All applicants are considered for an Academic Scholarship on the basis of their performance in the entrance exams or internal assessments.

A full explanation of our academic scholarships can be found in our information leaflet below.  

Scholarship Application Deadlines

Scholarship deadline for September 2026 Sixth Form has now passed. The Scholarship deadline for Years 7 and 9 is Monday 17 November 2025. Please contact our Admissions Team if you are interested in discussing scholarships for 2026 entry. 

Why do we award scholarships?

We recognise excellence and strive to stretch and challenge our most able students across a broad range of disciplines. 

Finance

A scholarship should not be viewed as a financial reward, it is a recognition of exceptional promise and a commitment by Royal High to nurture that potential. While scholarships may carry a modest fee remission, their true value lies in the enrichment, support, and distinction they offer.

How are scholarships awarded and who can apply?

Internal and external applicants in Years 7, 9 and 12 are eligible to apply for scholarships ahead of that academic year. Internal Year 9 scholarships are honorary.

All applicants are considered for an Academic Scholarship on the basis of their performance in the entrance exams or internal assessments.

Applicants are invited to audition for specialist scholarships in one of three main areas specifying the subject in which they are interested.

These are: Performing Arts (Music, Dance and Drama), Art & Design, and Sports.

Please ensure you have registered prior to applying for a scholarship.
