One of England's great Victorian public schools, founded in 1862. Day and boarding school offering A-Levels, GCSE and IB Diploma in a stunning Victorian campus in the heart of Bristol.
The Catch: A stunning Victorian boarding campus. It feels like a 'Hogwarts' experience. It is very high-tradition and formal. If your child wants a modern, casual environment, the chapel and gowns will be a shock.
One of Bristol's oldest and most respected independent schools, founded in 1532. A co-educational day school with outstanding academic results and a rich tradition of excellence.
The Catch: The top urban choice in Bristol. No boarding. It is a city school with limited green space on-site. Most sports happen at off-site fields, meaning lots of time spent on school buses.
One of England's oldest girls' schools, founded in 1634. A leading independent girls' school in Bristol with outstanding academic results and a strong tradition of empowering young women.
The Catch: The oldest girls' school in England. Very strong focus on the IB alongside A-Levels. It is intellectually intense. Ideal for the high-flyer, but can be a lot of pressure for an average student.
A leading independent girls' boarding and day school in Bristol. Offers A-Levels, GCSE and IB Diploma with outstanding academic results and a strong focus on individual development.
The Catch: A top-tier girls' boarding choice in the West Country. The campus is in a leafy Bristol suburb, not the countryside. It's more 'urban-secure' than 'rural-expansive,' which affects the weekend vibe.
