#40Yearsin40Weeks: The 1989-90 academic saw the opening of the Mackay Theatre. The first production was ‘Oliver!’. It was also the final BGS production led by David Trott, who retired after more than 30 years at the school. https://t.co/VmscQmde8h

#ThrowbackThursday to 1954 and this Lower School photo of Mr Griffith's 2nd Form, shared by OB Philip Lerway. Mr Lerway emigrated to the USA in 1955 but returned to BGS during a trip to Bristol some 60 years later. The biggest change? - "imagine my surprise seeing girls there!" https://t.co/P6pfLjuUM9

@BGSBristol20/01/2021

Well done to our Upper Sixth EPQ students on the excellent results they received last week. From happiness in Bhutan to the occipital condyle of Triceratops, they covered a fascinating, and broad, range of topics. https://t.co/UPzkjgwxtE #BGSSixthForm #EPQ

With fewer girls in the school than boys, there were lower numbers of each name, but the top 5 was as follows: Catherine/Katherine (15), Rachel (12), Anna (11), Clare /Claire (11) and Rebecca (11) https://t.co/bLFuX8kdOQ

@BGSBristol18/01/2021

Well done if you voted James; the top 5 boys' names at BGS in 1988-89 were: James (32), David (30), Simon (30), Daniel (29) and Richard (29). Honourable mentions also to Andrew, Nicholas, Matthew and Paul with 20+ of each in the school. https://t.co/Cn2QHhzIIy

#40YearsIn40Weeks: also in 1988-89, The Chronicle revealed the most popular pupil names in the Senior School. 985 pupils shared 252 names. 136 names appeared only once, leaving 116 names for the remaining 849 pupils! What do you think the most popular boys’ name was? #FridayFun

@BGSBristol15/01/2021

#40YearsFriday The House system is a hugely important part of what makes BGS so special. Even if you’ve forgotten almost everything about your time at BGS, you’ll probably still remember what House you were in (and that it was the best one, obviously!). #BGSHouses 1/3

We may not be able to physically return to BGS for today's start of term but do remember @BGSHeadmaster's words: "Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. ... let’s all react to this situation with kindness, integrity, rigour and real positivity." #BGSValues

@BGSBristol01/01/2021

Happy New Year! It may be 2021, but #40Yearsin40Weeks is in 1986, the first year of Charles Martin's headship. It was also a landmark year as, for the first time, the number of girls joining allowed all five Third forms to be coeducational. #40YearsFriday #40YearsofCoeducation https://t.co/CS4ffPjUbe
