About the School

This is a fabulous opportunity to join a collaborative and forward-thinking school community and to make a significant contribution to the experience at RHB.

RHB is a remarkable school for girls to belong to. Girls will always come first for us – everything we do is built around girls and their needs. At RHB we value tradition whilst embracing tomorrow’s world through innovative and creative thinking. We strive to be an outward looking school, generous in its service and partnerships to others, inclusive and diverse in its outlook.

At the heart of what we do is a desire to educate and empower a school of curious young people by equipping them with the skills, confidence and compassion to live a life unlimited. Along with the academic excellence the school is renowned for, we pride ourselves on how we nurture compassion as much as excellence, where girls spark off one another and support each other as they build skills and confidence for learning and in life. 

Every girl has the freedom to express herself individually and collectively, explore what excites her and experience new interests, independence, friendships and sisterhood, which will take them way beyond the classroom. 

As a community, we strive to reflect our school values - confidence, curiosity and connection - 

every day, in everything that we do. 

We are also a proud member of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) making our offer even richer in possibility and opportunity.

Thank you for your interest in joining us at RHB – a vibrant, forward-thinking day and boarding school for girls aged 9–18 located in the beautiful UNESCO city of Bath. RHB is the only independent girls’ school in Bath and this year we celebrate 150 years of educating and empowering the young women in and around our city. This school is a special place to be; you’ll feel it as soon as you walk through the door. 

This is a truly exciting opportunity to join a school where innovation meets tradition, and where every girl is known, has her own story and is empowered to thrive. If you are passionate about people and driven by purpose, Royal High offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced and motivated self-starter to play a vital role in developing our enterprise and partnerships opportunities in our thriving, values-led school community.
