As pupils across Bristol start their GCSEs, many of us will be thinking back to the time we were turning over our exam papers at school.
For some, memories of school days will be fonder than others, and many of the schools Bristolians attended are no longer even standing.
We’ve trawled through the archives to find photos of Bristol schools over the years. Some are gone forever, others are still very much open and teaching future generations.
And if you have any memories of the nine schools featured in our round-up, we’d love to hear from you.
