Bath Academy plans to light up Queen Square this winter and add some sparkly festive cheer with a very large and beautiful Christmas tree in our front courtyard.  More than just a decorative tree, it will be a ‘Remembrance Tree’ managed by our very own Student Elves who will be looking for help to decorate it in a special way for a special cause. 

As we head into the Christmas period, it is more important than ever to remember our loved ones, to celebrate their life or acknowledge those going through difficult times. Similar to Dorothy House’s ‘Light up a Life’ campaign where a candle on a tree is lit for a loved one at Christmas time, Bath Academy’s project – ‘Dress Dorothy’s Tree’ – will have the same sentiment but using symbolic baubles instead of candles to decorate the tree. 

Taking place during Bath’s busy Christmas market, we are hoping to attract market-goers to our Christmas display where they can purchase a Bath […]

We are trying to keep our students and agents as up to date as possible regarding all the Brexit news and updates. The latest update includes information regarding Transitional Immigration Arrangements for a no-deal Brexit:

The key points are:

EEA nationals will be able to study, live and work in the UK as now, until 31 December 2020
There is no need to apply for permission to remain in the UK within three months of arriving
The European Leave to Remain is now called the Euro TLR; EEA nationals who arrive after Brexit will have make an application if they intend to stay in the UK after 31 December 2020
ID cards remain valid as a travel document but will be phased out during 2020. No further information is available at this time
EHIC cards remain valid and continue to offer access to free healthcare – see further information on this below
The List of Travellers scheme will continue until at least 2021. Students who are […]

What our students say is the best testimony to what we do at Bath Academy. They have first-hand experience of everything from course work, quality of teaching, college environment, student life, what studying in Bath is like, and so much more.

One of the best things about Bath Academy is the diverse group of students we have, from Bath, all over the UK, and internationally. Small though we are,  we cover a huge spectrum of students needs and learning styles. Our personal approach provides a community atmosphere, and is what makes us different, and better for many reasons. Read on to find out why:

Will – One Year A Level Student

“The informality of the school makes a difference, there are few restrictions, and we are treated more like an adult, independence is encouraged.”– Will – One Year A Level Student now studying Virology & Immunology at University of Bristol

“My teacher’s lessons on the French Revolution were some of the most enjoyable I […]

Exams are finally over for our academic students! It’s been a stressful few weeks of revising and then the exams themselves, but our students made it through with confidence and determination, and we couldn’t be more proud of them.

Now it’s time for our academic students to take a well-deserved break and to welcome our international students for Junior Summer School! Each year we have lovely students join us from all over the world to learn English, visit Bath, and explore all the beautiful and historical places we have in the southwest UK. Once again we’re hosting a second Junior Summer School at Milton Abbey in Dorset, and it’s promising to be even bigger and better than last year. It’s going to be a great summer!

The annual CIFE Awards took place last Wednesday at the House of Lords in London where Lord Lexden presented an award to two of our students:

Mollie Selwood – Winner of Value-Added Award

Congratulations to Mollie Selwood who received the Value-Added award for achieving an 8 grade improvement with AAA in Accounting, Chemistry, and Maths. She’s now studying Accounting & Finance at University of Exeter.

Also awarded was Alise Ashby who studied Government & Politics with us achieving grade A in one year and has gained a place at Oxford studying History & Politics . Alise was awarded our college prize as our Young Carer Scholarship student for her amazing efforts overcoming challenges due to her caring responsibilities.

Huge congratulations to both of these incredible students, we are very proud of you 🤗🎓🎓

Evening English Language Classes Now Available!

We are now offering two evening classes per week for those who want to improve their English but are only available in the evening.

Classes take place Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 – 7:30pm. Our small, personalised classes have proven to increase our students’ English language skills more quickly and effectively than other, larger classes.

Please contact us on 01225 334 577 or by email: info@bathacademy.co.uk for more information. Also visit here to get more details and book online.

Each year CIFE hosts an inter-college quiz in London, and every year Bath Academy sends a team of clever students to participate. The questions test teams across a wide range of subjects. This year our international team included Maddie, Will, Oma, Luke, and Olga who came in 6th overall for a great result!
