The Royal High School is an independent day and boarding school for girls in the city of Bath, Somerset, England, catering for up to 1,000 pupils. The school is located on Lansdown Hill just outside Bath city centre. It has boarding facilities catering for about 150 girls.
Bath High School for Girls was founded in 1875 by the Girls' Public Day School Company (now the Girls' Day School Trust). It was a direct grant grammar school from 1946 until 1976.
The Royal High School was formed by the merger in 1998 of Bath High School (day) and the Royal School (day and boarding). As a result, it is the only member of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST) to provide boarding accommodation. Now, the Junior School has Cranwell House as its main building, whereas the Senior School has the main school building and the Winfield centre for sixth form students - both on Lansdown Road.
Girls can start in the Nursery School one and a half months before they are three years old. The Junior School will take pupils in September after their fourth birthday. The Junior School has around 200 full-time pupils from Reception to Year 6, and around 20 part-time pupils in the Nursery.
The Junior school is situated in the Cranwell House, in Weston Park, very near to the Senior School. It is an outstanding 11 acre learning landscape in which the girls can cherish and celebrate intellectual curiosity, explore diverse creative challenges and enhance the richness of childhood for girls. It caters for pupils from Nursery to Year 6 (age 3 to 11).
The house is a vital thread in the fabric of Bath and its history. Nice facilities and resources enable the school to create an exceptional place for learning for 3- to 11-year-old girls. A Discovery room, a Creativity Zone, an outdoor playground and a brand new Nursery in the renovated Vine House, means the school can offer the very best in specialist education for girls aged 3–11.
The senior school is situated in Lansdown Road near Bath city centre.
