Head of Sixth Form's welcome

We excel in providing contemporary education exclusively for girls, and our expertise truly shines in the Sixth Form at Royal High. We believe in educating the whole girl - mind, heart and spirit.

Our Sixth Form is designed with one goal: to help every student achieve her very best. With opportunities to stretch academically, take on leadership roles and explore future pathways with expert careers and university guidance, this is where ambition meets support. Surrounded by like-minded, driven peers, our girls don't just prepare for their future, they shape it.

All Sixth Form students benefit from small class sizes and a positive learning environment where intellectual bravery and curiosity are encouraged. Beyond the classroom, students have opportunities to engage in an exceptionally wide range of activities. They can express themselves on stage and through art, compete on the sports field and in numerous academic competitions, and broaden their understanding of the world through participation in Model United Nations, Bath Youth Parliament, and the GDST Leadership Enterprise Advanced Diploma (LEAD) program. We also offer an array of leadership roles, including academic and pastoral mentoring of younger students. This "girls inspiring girls" approach encourages a strong sense of community and mutual support.

Each Sixth Form student has a personal tutor who they regularly meet, who provides support, encouragement and guidance throughout the two years. Our Sixth Form team comprises highly dedicated and expert teachers and professionals who work closely together to support our students in researching and preparing for their next steps. Whether aiming for university at home or abroad, a foundation course, or a vocational apprenticeship, our team leverages a wealth of experience to guide each student as an individual. In addition to our in-school experts, Royal High girls have access to the impressive 100,000 strong GDST Alumnae network.

Our Sixth Form Centre, Boarding House and Café provide a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere where individuality is respected, kindness is valued, and lifelong friendships are formed. This nurturing environment helps both our boarding and day students thrive academically and personally.

We warmly invite you to visit and experience the unique atmosphere of Royal High Bath Sixth Form. Our students are eager to show you around and share their personal experiences, providing an authentic insight into life here. 

I look forward to meeting you.

Mrs Mandy Ladbury-Webb, our Head of Sixth Form
