ISI Inspection Report

Bath Academy meets all Independent School Standards across leadership, education quality, pupils' wellbeing, social education, and safeguarding. The school provides personal attention to individual pupils with effective teaching, strong pastoral support through tutorial systems and enrichment programmes, and a caring boarding community. However, the school was operating outside its DfE registration by enrolling pupils beyond the authorized age range, and minor safety issues in boarding accommodation were identified and resolved during inspection.
