School songs

Alma mater

Sing praises to the Blue and Gold,
Sing praises to thy fame.
May each loyal son and daughter
Bring honor to thy name.
May we always show our loyalty
As we have in days gone by.
And may our hearts be ever true
To you, Bath High.
[8]

And we will never let you down.
For we are loyal for ever,
