Scholarships
“ Academic excellence drives our educational philosophy; our scholars are integral to this and demonstrate it daily.”Kate Reynolds, Head of 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. Please note that existing scholarships awarded in Year 7 and Year 9 will end at Year 11 but girls are welcome to reapply for Year 12. Scholarships are available for Sixth Form.
Academic Scholarships
We encourage scholarship applications from girls registering to join Royal High School Bath in line with their entry at Year 7 (11+), Year 9 (13+) and, as they enter the Sixth Form in Year 12.
These are awarded for all-round academic excellence. A full explanation of our academic scholarships can be found below.

Why do we award scholarships?
We recognise excellence and strive to stretch and challenge our most able students. We award scholarships to allow access to an education for those whose talent would particularly benefit from this but the fees are beyond the parents’ reach. Our scholarships also help to support the work of our departments in improving provision for all.
Finance
Typically, scholarships are worth 10% remission on the tuition fees. In certain cases, an honorary scholarship may be awarded and whilst there is no monetary award, girls have full access to the Scholars’ Programme.
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, Art & Design, and Sports.
