Our Purpose and Values
Royal High School Bath, GDST is a place where ambition meets innovation, and where our students are empowered to become future-ready global citizens.
We are a school where every girl matters, every voice is heard, and everyone is inspired to explore and to challenge themselves.
As part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), our vision is to create a more equitable world for all by equipping girls to be the leaders and changemakers of the future.
Our values underpin everything we do and are reflected within our curriculum.
Girls First
Every girl matters to us. We celebrate individuality and nurture confident, inspiring leaders ready to shape the world around them.
Confidence
We encourage girls to be heard, to be bold, and to be unapologetically themselves.
Curiosity
We inspire a lifelong love of learning, encouraging every girl to question, explore, and think boldly beyond boundaries.
Connections
We foster friendships and networks that inspire belonging, resilience, and lifelong connections.
As a proud member of the GDST – a powerhouse of 25 schools and a global network of inspiring alumnae – we are part of a community that is redefining what it means to educate girls for the future.
Welcome
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you and your family to Royal High. Whether you are joining us at the start of a new school year, or midway through the year – we extend you the warmest of welcomes and hope you feel at home straight away.
This booklet contains lots of information to help you to make a smooth transition into our Royal High community. I know that moving to Senior School, or joining a new school, is a big step, but we will do everything we can to make the transition as seamless as possible. There are lots of events held throughout the year for parents, guardians and carers to attend, as well as online meetings and updates for our boarding families. We want you to get involved and feel part of our friendly community. You will receive an email with a link to the school calendar, so do look out for these over the coming months.
At Royal High, we pride ourselves on our pastoral care, and the key to our success is having regular communication between the school, families and students. Please do get in touch with either me, your daughter’s Head of Year or Form Tutor if you have any concerns or questions throughout the year; we are always happy to help.
I am looking forward to meeting you all during what I am sure will be a busy, exciting and rewarding year.
With best wishes
Mrs Elizabeth Cunningham Deputy Head, Pastoral and Boarding e.cunningham@rhsb.gdst.net

Communication
It is essential that we have your up-to-date contact details. Please let Reception know if these change at any time. This includes your address, email address and telephone numbers.
Once your daughter is admitted onto the database at the start of term, new parents will be issued with account login details to Firefly, our Parent Portal, current parents will keep existing login details. For new students this can take up to 3 days. Login via the link under the Parent Hub tab on our website.
If you are unaware of your account details, or need a password reset, email servicedesk@rhsb.gdst.net
School News

SchoolPost
All letters emailed home are sent via SchoolPost which is delivered in a weekly drop. Copies of SchoolPost messages can also be found on the Parent Portal, where you will also find the school calendar, details of sports fixtures, music lessons, reports and timetables.
ClassList
Parent-to-parent communication is encouraged via ClassList – new parents have access from July when new students are ‘added’ onto the system.
Our app showcases our social media content and pulls together links to key information in one place. The app is available to download from both Android and Apple stores –simply search Royal High App and look for our logo.
Boarding
Within boarding we aim to ensure that all boarders enjoy a living environment which is supportive, caring and safe, and which supports their physical, intellectual, spiritual and moral development.
We understand that joined up pastoral care underpins personal development. We ensure that there is a strong school to home link so that boarding parents are kept in touch. We also ensure that boarders enjoy equitable rights of access to all school activities with day girls, and that the School’s ethos and values are upheld within the boarding environment.
New boarders are supported to make friends quickly, and are encouraged to invite their day girl friends for a sleepover in boarding.
Weekly and Flexi Boarding
Our boarding is flexible and designed to suit the needs of every girl and family. We offer full, weekly and flexi boarding options. Weekly boarding provides the perfect opportunity for busy families to experience the best of school and home, with girls spending weeknights in school and the weekends at home.
Flexi boarding can be arranged to suit your family’s needs, up to a maximum of three nights per week.
If you would like to book an occasional boarding night, please email or telephone the House Parent on: +44 (0)7788 185344 or boarding@rhsb.gdst.net to check availability, giving as much notice as possible.
Please note that spaces in some year groups are limited, but we will always try to accommodate girls.
All our new students will recieve a Golden Ticket for one free night in boarding.

Before and After School Provision
Before school
The school day begins at 08.30. Day students may be in school from 08.00 when they should be in their common room or Tutor room. Staff will be available in school but students will not be directly supervised until 08.25.
If your daughter requires breakfast and an earlier drop off, please book this in advance via ParentPay at least 24 hours in advance. Any students arriving before 8.00 must go to the dining room. Breakfast will be charged to a pre-paid catering card which can be topped up through ParentPay. The latest serving is at 08.15.
If you are bringing your daughter to school by car, please drop her at either the Music School entrance on Charlcombe Lane or the back of the school on Richmond Road. Parents or guardians dropping students should not drive into the Lansdown entrance between 08.00 and 09.30.
After school
If your daughter travels home by bus, she needs to leave school promptly so that she does not miss it. If she does miss her bus, she must return to Reception and ask for assistance from Reception which is staffed until 17.00.
If your daughter is collected at 15.50, please ensure that she knows exactly where she is to be met. The Music School Charlcombe Lane entrance or Richmond Road entrance are best. Parents or guardians collecting students after school between 15.50–17.00 should not drive onto the school site using the Lansdown Road entrance.
No students should be waiting alone for more than a few minutes in unattended areas of the school or outside the school gates, particularly during the darker winter months. They should wait either in Reception, or in Supervised Study if waiting for an extended period of time.
Day students may stay at school until 18.00 to take part in an activity or to do homework, however, they must always be either in Supervised Study or in a staff-supervised club approved by the school. If students wish to attend Supervised Study, parents should book this a week in advance by using the booking form (on the Parent Portal).
In case of a fire or other emergency, it is essential that students remaining at school after 16.00 are in the care of a member of staff until they leave the premises.
After 18.00
Students are welcome to join the boarders and have supper at school if, for example, they are taking part in a school play or concert, and are in the care of the member of staff in charge.
Individual casual supper charge for day girls is £7.82 daily and should be purchased through the students’ pre-paid catering cards. These can be topped up through ParentPay.
Day Boarding
After school, students are welcome to become an honorary member of the boarding house and follow the boarding routine until 21.00 at the latest, by which time they must be collected from school.
Day Boarding costs £20 and enables the girls to stay at school for supper (at 18.00) and do homework and/or activities with boarders afterwards. They can be collected at any point after supper by prior agreement with the boarding staff.
Supper is included in the cost of this option, as is the ‘in house snack’ at 16.00. For planning reasons, Day Boarding needs to be booked and paid for in advance. Please contact Reception for details.
School Uniform
Having a sense of belonging to our school is important, and wearing your uniform is a symbol of pride in our school. Please take note of the following rules regarding uniform:
• School uniform should be named, clean, and in good condition at all times.
• All students in Years 7 to 11 must wear their school blazer travelling to and from school and while in school, unless advised by a member of staff.
• Shoes should be black leather look (no trainers or shoes that look like trainers).
• Tights, ankle or knee length socks (not trainer socks) should be plain navy.
• One pair of simple, stud earrings is allowed. No rings, bracelets or body piercings are allowed. Fine chains with a religious symbol may be worn around the neck (but inside the blouse).
• Visible make-up and nail varnish should not be worn.
• Hair should not be obviously dyed and should be a single, natural colour and long hair should be tied back with a plain black or navy hair tie.
• If students wish to wear a coat over their uniform, it must be the waterproof crested navy Sports coat, available to buy through SchoolBlazer, or a plain, unbranded navy or black coat.
• When wearing school PE kit to and from school, within the school grounds or to fixtures, students must wear school tracksuit bottoms or the RHB crested leggings.
• Sixth Form dress should conform to the agreed dress code.
Lost Property
Parents must ensure that all students’ clothing, shoes, trainers and valuables are clearly named.
Students should avoid bringing large amounts of money into school, but if it is absolutely necessary, this should be handed in to Reception or to the Boarding staff for safe-keeping.
If anybody finds anything valuable, they must hand it into Reception for safe-keeping and if a student has lost something, she should go there to find out if anything has been handed in. Other items should be returned to the owner or given to a member of staff.
All our school uniform can be purchased from SchoolBlazer. Visit their website via this QR code.
Houses
Each girl is allocated to a House as she joins the school. The Houses are led by staff Heads of Houses and Sixth Form House Leaders, and there are House assemblies throughout the year.
Being part of a House encourages our students to work together with other year groups, promoting teamwork and a healthy, competitive spirit.
Lunch
Lunch for all day students in Years 5–11 is compulsory. All boarders’ meals are included in the fees.
The cost of these lunches will be charged by the GDST and will appear on the school fees invoice. Lunch entitles students to the following:
A freshly cooked hot meal – meat or vegetarian option, including pasta or jacket
The Houses, led by their House Leaders, take part in a wide range of events including a House Dance and Drama performance, sports competitions and House quizzes. Everyone is involved and the winning Houses gain valuable House points.
Another way of getting House points is by being rewarded with Merits and Commendations. At the end of the school year the House with the most points is awarded the highly-prized House Shield.
potato with various toppings plus a choice of a hot pudding, cake, yogurt or fresh fruit. Soup is also available.
Chilled water is available in the dining room.
Please note that catering costs due to student absence, for whatever reason, cannot be reimbursed. When students are required to have a packed lunch for an off-site trip, these are arranged by the school.
Co-Curricular Programme
One of the strengths of Royal High is that we recognise student life is about much more than just academic success and we encourage our students to balance their academic work by taking part in our wide range of exciting enrichment, extension and co-curricular activities.
Students are expected to sign up to a certain number of co-curricular activities that are run during the school day and after school. Our extensive programme offers a diverse range of activities which allows our students to develop their skills, try different things and be creative to find new ways of expressing themselves. Our RHB ACTIVE programme encourages them to be courageous and stretch themselves by taking risks in a safe and friendly environment. It also enables students to communicate and build friendships outside of academic lessons and develop commitment, compassion, perseverance and organisational skills.
If you have any questions, please contact the Co-Curricular Coordinator: royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net
Music
Music plays a major role in our school. Our Steinway Music School provides students with exceptional musical opportunities, including concerts, performances, trips and clubs each term.
A wealth of information about the music curriculum, music scholarships, individual instrumental lessons, clubs, ensembles and performances can be found on our Parent Portal.
If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Music: royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net
Music Prospectus
Drama
Drama makes a unique contribution to the life of our school. Beyond the excellent classroom provision, the girls are given numerous opportunities to become involved in a range of drama activities including LAMDA lessons, workshops, performances, annual school productions and regular theatre trips.
With the support of highly experienced teachers and technical staff, girls are encouraged to explore new possibilities as creators, designers, technicians, directors and performers.
If you have any questions, or you would like to arrange peripatetic lessons in Speech and Drama, please contact the Head of Drama: royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net
Sport and PE
Sport and PE are key aspects of life at Royal High. Our wide curriculum, which offers students of all ages the chance to try a range of different physical activities and competitive opportunities, enables girls to train at a higher level and represent our school. All students must take note of the following:
Changing Rooms and Kit
• Students should bring the appropriate kit for lessons (old style royal blue hoodies are non-regulation and should not be worn).
• Kit bags should be left in lockers or in the specifically designed cubby-holes in locker rooms. In lessons, hair should be tied back and all jewellery, including fitbits and smart watches, should be removed.
• Any student who is unable to take part in PE for any reason should bring a note from her parent or boarding staff. She will still be involved in the lesson (even if she cannot take part in the physical activity) and will be required to change into kit for the lesson.
Sports Fixtures
We encourage our students to take pride in representing the School as part of our many sports teams.
It is expected that all students uphold this commitment, and show good sportsmanship at all times.
Students are expected to attend all fixtures in their correct kit, travelling in their school tracksuit at all times.
Please note that unavoidable circumstances sometimes lead to the re-scheduling of some fixtures. Please always check the weekly timetable on the Parent Portal to ensure you have the most up to date fixture information.
If you have any questions please contact the Director of Sport: royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net
The Medical Centre
The Medical Centre is run by our school nurse, who is supported by the school doctor, a local female GP. It consists of a treatment room, quiet area, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms.
If you wish to speak to our nurse regarding a student, you can contact her on 01225 731007, by email: royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net, or in person, by appointment. Out of hours the parents of boarders can contact the House Parent.
For emergencies at other times
No student may go to the Medical Centre unless they have been to Reception first. No student may leave a lesson except for an emergency.
Boarders
Boarders are registered with the school doctor for the duration of their time at the school. If a boarder need needs to be seen urgently, she will be escorted to the doctor’s surgery in the centre of Bath by one of the boarding assistants.
We try to keep specialist appointments during term to a minimum to prevent disruption to schooling. However, there may be occasions when it will be necessary for your daughter to attend an appointment during the school day.
If you live locally, you may wish to escort your daughter yourself, otherwise she will be taken by a boarding assistant (until she is 16 years of age, when she is considered old enough to organise travel arrangements herself).
All medicine must be handed to the Medical Centre or the House Parent for safe keeping. Under no circumstances must students keep medicine in their rooms.
If your daughter is too unwell to attend school, she will be admitted to the Medical Centre. If this happens, the staff will always contact you as soon as possible, and keep in
regular contact with you during the doctor’s time in the Medical Centre.
Day Students
If your daughter becomes unwell during the day, the school nurse is available to provide first aid and basic care for her and you will be contacted. If you have any anxieties about your daughter’s health that may affect her while she is at school, the nurse would be happy to discuss them with you and provide the necessary care and support.
If your daughter has a chronic health problem, suffers from a prolonged illness or has to be admitted to hospital, it is essential to let the nurse know, so that appropriate support can be offered on her return to school.
If your daughter needs to take medication during the school day, she must bring it to the Medical Centre for safe keeping in its original packaging with her name and doctor’s instructions. Please fill out the parental permission form found on the Parent Portal.
No medication should be carried in school by girls, except for inhalers and EpiPens. If your daughter suffers from asthma and uses an inhaler or an EpiPen, please ensure a spare is provided to be kept in the Medical Centre.
Routine immunisations are now undertaken by your GP, apart from some immunisations which take place in school for some year groups as part of Government initiatives. The school nurse will inform parents when they are due to take place, and gain consent.
Please ensure the school nurse is informed of dates of boosters outside school to be able to keep the student’s school records up to date. Your daughter must not phone home to ask to be collected if she is unwell. She will be assessed and we will phone home if necessary. Please do not collect your daughter under these circumstances without first checking with the Medical Centre or Reception.
No Nuts
We are an allergy aware school and as such nuts are forbidden. Please DO NOT bring nuts into school – we have students with severe allergies.
Traces of nuts can be found in cereal bars, chocolates and some chocolate products, even the dust particles from products containing nuts may trigger a reaction which could lead to a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.
Guest Students
Royal High is happy to welcome exchange partners of students (in addition to those links formally made by the school). Guest students are invited to join us for a maximum of three school days. Please contact the
Pastoral Deputy Head to make such an arrangement. The school requires at least two weeks’ notice. Exchange partners (girls only) of boarders are welcome to reside at school for a maximum of three nights.
Absence from School
For an absence due to illness, parents should notify Reception before 8.30 on the first and each subsequent day of absence. If a prolonged absence is anticipated, the Tutor and Head of Year should be contacted.
If no absence has been reported by 8.30 or there is a concern about a student’s absence Reception will phone home.
Parents are kindly asked not to make requests to take a student our of school during term time. In the event of an emergency, a letter requesting leave of absence must be sent to the Head, Ms Heidi-Jayne Boyes in advance of any absence.
Requests for absence for medical appointments are permitted and should be submitted to Tutors via email to royalhigh@rhsb.gdst.net with the Tutor’s name in the subject. We cannot accept notification by telephone and students must sign in and out at Reception.
ICT and E-Safety
Mobile Phone Policy
In line with UK government guidance and the GDST’s commitment to calm, focused, phone‑free learning environments, Royal High School Bath will operate a no‑phone‑use policy during the school day. This approach supports students’ wellbeing, reduces distraction, and encourages positive face‑to‑face interaction.
Core Expectation
Students may not use mobile phones anywhere on the school site at any time during the school day (including before and after school and during breaks).
By Year Group
Years 5–6: Mobile phones are not permitted in school.
Year 7: Students may bring a basic non smartphone only. Phones must be secured in a PhoneLocker pouch from 08.30–15.50.
Years 8–11: Smartphones are permitted but must not be used and must be secured in a PhoneLocker pouch from 08.30–15.50.
School Transport
School buses are phone‑free zones. Students will hand phones to the driver at the start of each journey and collect them at the end. This safeguards students from exposure to inappropriate content and supports a calm, respectful environment.
Smartwatches
Smartwatches with messaging, calling, or internet access are treated as mobile phones and are not permitted.
Contacting Home
Students should contact home via Reception where needed. Parents should also contact the school directly rather than students’ personal devices.
Implementation and Expectations
Students will be supported in understanding the policy. Devices used in breach of these expectations will be confiscated until the end of the school day, with sanctions applied in line with the Behaviour Policy.
Laptops
In Years 7 to 11 students are required to bring their own laptop to school.
This must be a Microsoft Windows device. It will be mandatory for all laptops to have a piece of software installed that will help with classroom management eg; the teacher will be able to see what apps a student has open and will be able to lock all of the screens to ensure students are engaged with classroom activities. This software will only work whilst the student is connected to the school network during the day, so privacy is maintained whilst students are at home.
The key requirements for this device are:
• A physical keybord or the ability to connect to one
• The ability to record photos, video and audio
• The ability to connect to OneDrive and other Microsoft Office 365 tools such as OneNote, Word, Excel etc
• A battery life that will last a few hours of use, and all day on standby
• A suitable size screen, larger than 10 inches, and ideally between 12 and 14 inches. Larger than 14 inches tends to be too cumbersome.
• We highly recommend that devices have a touch screen interface to allow annotations of pictures and diagrams as well as to make it easier to input mathematical text.
Although not essential, there are benefits to touch screen devices and we would advise that a screen size of between 10–14 inches is the most suitable.
The following advice applies to all forms of mobile device i.e. laptops, tablets, mobile phones and wearable technology such as smartwatches.
• We highly recommend that parents insure any student devices against loss, theft or breakages as the school insurance will not cover devices.
• They should be locked away when not required and never left in an unattended bag.
• A passcode or password is enabled to prevent other students misusing the device.
• Location services are enabled so that if it is lost, it may be tracked or disabled.
• Mobile devices must never be taken into an examination room. Candidates found with unauthorised technology during exams risk facing serious sanctions from the examination board.
• Any student found accessing websites with inappropriate content will be dealt with according to the Behaviour Policy.
Financial Matters
Royal High operates an internet payment system for parents called ParentPay. This is separate from the school fees which are administered directly from the GDST. All chargeable activities that your daughter takes part in must be paid for through our ParentPay portal. It is important that this happens in advance of the activity so that we are able to secure a place for your daughter and ensure that we have all the necessary staffing in place for her safety. Unfortunately, if payment is not made then your daughter will not be able to participate.
Access ParentPay via this QR code.
New parents will receive a letter from Admissions in August with their login details.
Contacting GDST Fees Team
If you have a query regarding your daughter’s fees please visit the fees department support service where you will find answers to frequently asked questions and instructions on how to contact the team. Further information regarding fees is also available on the GDST website.
Guidelines for School Trips
When a student is invited to go on a trip, parents will receive an email with all the information required. You will be asked to fill in a form to give permission for the student to attend the trip. It is a requirement of the GDST that your response is received, and without this, your daughter will not be able to participate. If a cost is involved, you
will also be asked to pay for the trip using ParentPay. Full payment is required before your daughter takes part.
Please keep to the reply deadline as the trip may not go ahead if a response has not been submitted by the given date. Even if the trip is viable, a student may not be able to attend if the reply has not been received on time.
Travel and Transport
Our comprehensive transport network provides girls with quick, trouble-free journeys to school. We have bus routes running across Bath and the wider area including Tetbury, East Bristol, Chew Valley, Midsomer Norton, Frome, Shaftesbury and Chippenham.
New routes can be considered if enough students express an interest.
Find out more at our dedicated web portal, via this QR code, where you can also make bookings and payments for the service.
