Bath Academy
Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, South West · BA1 2HX
Bath Academy is an unusually focused independent school, taking pupils from 14 to 19 with the great majority - 76 of around 80 - already in the sixth form. This is a small, senior-stage community where almost everyone is working towards GCSEs, A-levels or the EPQ. Boarding is offered alongside day places, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school good in its most recent inspection, with all compliance standards met. Notably, 45 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, which speaks to a setting geared towards individual attention.

Teaching & academics
The curriculum is built around GCSEs and A-levels, with the option of an Extended Project Qualification for those who want to develop independent research skills. A-level choices lean strongly towards the sciences and quantitative subjects, with Psychology, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology among the most popular. The ISI judged the school good, and with so few pupils overall the teaching environment is necessarily intimate.
