Bath Academy is a small, personal and high-performing independent sixth form college that encourages, guides and mentors young people to achieve their academic potential in order to lead more personally creative and satisfying lives contributing to society.
With tailored teaching and support, we give students the best chance to apply successfully to high quality universities by offering flexible options for GCSEs and A-Levels, intensive Revision courses, as well as Resit courses for those who need a second chance.
We also run bespoke courses for students with unique requirements.
Our flexible approach means we are often able to help in uniquely difficult or exceptional educational circumstances.
We don’t have formal open days at Bath Academy. The college invites students and parents to meet one-on-one in an informal atmosphere. A chat with the Principal, Vice-Principal, or Head of Admissions about each student’s individual situation, learning style, and academic aims, allows students to be guided in the best direction. If you would like to set up a meeting or more information, fill out the form below, contact us by phone (01225 334 577), email, or drop in and say hello!

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.

Yes, prospective students are able to visit the college throughout the year. If you would like to meet the Principal or visit before September, this is possible but will need to be pre-arranged by appointment.
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.
Parents of prospective students are encouraged to contact the Admissions department to discuss their child’s learning profile openly and confidentially so that we can tailor a suitable and appropriate course.
We promote open lines of communication between staff, teachers, tutors and students to ensure every possibility of student concerns are covered. Each student has their own Personal Tutor who supports all aspects of student wellbeing, including UCAS guidance and help with their university application. Personal Tutors work closely with the Principal, Vice-Principal, Welfare Officer, Enrichment Lead, and support staff to ensure that each individual feels they have the support, respect and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
We are centrally located in the heart of Bath, and with small class sizes, passionate teachers, and a friendly, flexible college environment, all students are supported to achieve their academic goals.
Every day is an Open Day at Bath Academy. If you would like to visit please contact our Admissions team.
