Admissions

Badminton welcomes girls into Prep, Senior and Sixth Form; the admissions team encourages visits, open days and direct enquiry.

How the school describes itself

  • Badminton is intellectually curious.
  • The school emphasises a calm, supportive environment alongside strong teaching and results.
  • The school emphasises the breadth that comes from combining day and boarding pupils on one campus.

Parents like

  • Parents talk about a first-class education in a school that still feels local and knowable.
  • Small class sizes, individual attention and a welcoming leadership team come through strongly in current testimonials.
  • The all-girls focus appeals most where families want ambition without an overly hard-edged atmosphere.

Inspection snapshot

Badminton has a current ISI routine inspection from 2025 alongside a 2023 short visit, so there is up-to-date regulatory material behind the school's longstanding reputation. The school combines a very established public profile with recent formal checking rather than relying on historic prestige.
