BY PARENTS, FOR PARENTS

“From 4-16, my daughter has thrived at every stage”

14 March 2019 AUTHOR: A Parent

My daughter has been at Badminton since she was four. She is now sixteen. I have not even looked at another school for Sixth Form and have no intention of doing so. She will go right through because I have every confidence that Badminton continues to be the right choice for her. The Junior School provided a superb nurturing environment, with motivated caring teachers who made lessons incredibly interesting for the girls. They were passionate in their teaching, with creativity being used in every lesson. The girls were taught from an early age to be curious, inventive, imaginative. When I first visited the School when Amelia was three, I remember being told “every child has a special skill; we will find that, and we will nurture it, whether it is Sport, Art, Sciences, Languages, Music - whatever it is", and that is exactly what Badminton has done. From an early age (I think my daughter was 6) Badminton picked up that my daughter had a talent for Science. They nurtured that and built on it. They also picked up that she had great debating skills - this was in Year 6. There was no question for us that Amelia would continue into the Senior School. My daughter is now in Year 11 (GCSE year). Badminton has a holistic approach which broadens the girls’ thinking. The extra-curricular activities available are superb. The Senior School has continued to nurture her love of Science. She is heavily involved in the Science Outreach programme run by the fabulous Mr Williams, which is a superb opportunity for any of the girls. As well as other extra-curricular activities, she attends the debating club and is also involved in Model United Nations - taking part in Bismun 2019 - again a superb opportunity. Her public speaking skills as a result of these opportunities provided to her by the School are excellent. She is a highly motivated, confident young lady and Badminton has had a huge part to play in that. Badminton girls are not ordinary girls and a Badminton education is not an ordinary education.

WELCOME TO THE SIXTH FORM

Our Sixth Form’s strength comes from its size and from our university-style teaching methods. The sheer range of subject combinations and interests that girls pursue makes the Sixth Form exciting and its size means that everyone knows each other well.

There is a good influx of new Sixth Formers into the Lower Sixth alongside those who have joined the School in earlier years, and this, together with a mix of Day Girls and Boarders (with flexi-boarding available too) mean that there is no one model of Sixth Former at Badminton.

From Anthropology to Filmmaking, Neuroscience to International Development, Aeronautical Engineering to Global Sustainable Development: Badminton girls go on to do anything and everything at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. We have a strong success rate for applications to Oxford and Cambridge. Read more here.

WHY BADMINTON?

Bristol has its share of very good schools, and we know that choosing somewhere for your daughter isn’t easy.

So what’s different about Badminton?

Our history, our unusual ethos of teaching and learning and our careful balance of intellectual firepower with courtesy and support all set us apart. There is an important place in the world for strong female communities, and Badminton is one of these. We have excellent facilities and some of the best boarding and pastoral care provision of any school. Girls at Badminton come from all over the globe and know that they can try anything, study anything, do anything, and they do. No one here is judged on superficialities, and Badminton girls rightly learn that their future can be anything they want it to be.
