Badminton School is an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3 – 18 years. Its location in Westbury-on-Trym on the leafy outskirts of Bristol provides all the amenities and opportunities of a diverse city, mixed with the green open space of the surrounding areas.
The School consistently achieves impressive academic results, which enables the girls to access a wealth of world-class universities, Music Conservatoires and Art Colleges. Badminton has a holistic approach to learning and girls are encouraged to develop as individuals, to pursue their own interests and expand and explore their ambitions, both in their academic work and co-curricular activities.
The aim at Badminton is to encourage the girls to become curious, confident and enthusiastic learners within a community that is supportive, friendly and fun. So we have to advise coming down to view the private collection and making sure you get a peak while you can!
