The schools

 

 

Colston’s Girls' School

Colston's Girls' School became an Academy in September 2008 – the first independent school in Bristol to do so. At the time, it was also one of only four former fee-charging schools nationally to have become Academies.

Following its change in status, the school is highly oversubscribed, with five girls applying for every place. A recently-approved redevelopment plan will enable the school to increase its capacity from the current 380 students to 720 by 2012.

The project will provide an art block and dining hall that will include a studio theatre and music facilities as well as a sixth form café and study rooms.

Changes to the existing school include a new drop-in library and resource centre and remodelling the Dolphin block to create new science labs.
