Not getting the grades might be the best thing that ever happened to you
We pride ourselves on being Resit Specialists at Bath Academy. Whatever the outcome of your grades, there are always options.
Whether you want to improve your target grades, or just need a bit more time, we offer Resit courses for students who do not achieve the

We also run bespoke courses for students with unique requirements – please get in touch.
Our flexible approach means we are often able to help in uniquely difficult or exceptional educational circumstances.

What The Students Say
FAQs
What is the admissions process?
Initially we’ll ask for a short academic overview, then we arrange an interview for students and family members to speak with the Principal, Vice-Principal, or Head of Admissions to discuss the various courses and options available at Bath Academy.
A letter will follow outlining the key points discussed and indicating the relevant course details.

We have a dedicated SENCO who works with students and liaises with their personal tutor, teachers, and specialist advisors on a regular basis. We have much experience with students who have mild learning difficulties such as dyslexia or ADHD.
