About

From September 2026, Royal High School Bath, GDST will become one school on one site. Students in Years 5 and 6 will move to the Lansdown site, where they will benefit from greater specialist teaching and facilities - creating a nurturing bridge into the Senior School. We also share that the Lower prep (Nursery – Year 4) will close in July 2026.

We will continue to support students, families and staff with care throughout the transition. Royal High Bath announces strategic move to strengthen its provision for girls' education Royal High Bath, part of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), has today announced a significant and forward‑looking development in its provision for girls aged 9–18.

From September 2026, the school will bring its Year 5 and Year 6 pupils onto its Senior School site on Lansdown Road, creating a fully integrated, expert learning environment designed specifically around the needs of girls.

Following a detailed review and careful consideration, the decision has been taken to close the separate Prep School site and to begin the Royal High through‑school journey from Year 5. Provision for Nursery to Year 4 will therefore close at the end of the Summer Term in July 2026.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
