Bath Academy, Bath

In its own words: "Bath Academy is an independent sixth-form college and language school that specialises in a personalised education. As a small, private, tutorial college, academic courses are tailored to the individual needs of students to provide them with the best opportunity of applying successfully to the university of their dreams."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Bath Academy can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
