Badminton School is a private boarding and day school for girls aged 4 to 18 years situated in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, England. Named after Badminton House in Clifton, Bristol, where it was founded, the school has been located at its current site since 1924 and consistently performs well in the government's league tables, particularly at A-Level.[2] In 2008 the school was ranked third in the Financial Times top 1,000 schools.[3] In the 2023 A-Levels, the school saw 48.5% of its candidates score A*/A.[4]

According to the Good Schools Guide, "The secret of the school's success is in its size and a good deal of individual attention."[5]
