Junior and Senior Schools are both situated on the northern side of Bath, enjoying commanding views of the city and with good access to the A46 and M4. The Sixth Form is on the same site as the Senior School. The Junior School is located at Cranwell House, which is a 25 minute walk / 10 minute drive from the senior site. Cranwell consists of a refurbished Victorian mansion and a modern new building designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley. The Junior School site is approximately 11 acres.

The Senior site provides a fusion of history and heritage with modern and contemporary facilities which combine to create a perfect learning and teaching experience. Facilities on the site include an Art School, Performing Arts Theatre, Multi-Gym and Sports Hall. In 2015 the school, supported by the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), embarked on an extensive roof replacement project which is scheduled for completion in 2018. The boarding houses have been completely refurbished during the summer 2017 and there are exciting plans to enhance the sporting and music facilities at the senior school.
