Why choose BGS?

As a consistently high-ranking selective co-educational school, we can provide a wonderful opportunity for your child. Ours is a school in which girls and boys learn and achieve together, gaining skills, knowledge and values that will secure success for them at school and beyond.

Thanks to large staff numbers, the School can offer an exceptionally broad range of subjects taught by high quality teachers, whose breadth of subject knowledge and teaching styles combine to meet the interests, needs and aptitudes of each and every child. With extensive sports facilities and high spec design & technology, drama, music and art, your child can get involved in a varied co-curricular programme; many compete successfully at national level.

Our vision is of a school where girls and boys reach their full academic and personal potential; where they develop into considerate, imaginative, confident, interested and interesting young adults who are well placed to pursue their aspirations and interests as responsible members of society.

The best way to come to an understanding of Bristol Grammar School is to come and experience it. I do hope you will visit us.
