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 eight schools featured in our round-up, we’d love to hear from you.
5. Marksbury Road Senior Boys School
Bedminster’s Marksbury Road school, pictured here on Speech Day in July 1936, went on to become a City of Bristol College and is now an Oasis Academy.
6. Petherton Road Infants
In the heart of Hengrove, New Oak Primary replaced Petherton Road Infants and Tyning Hengrove Junior School in 2006.
7. Dr Bells School, Fishponds
Dr Bells Primary School was open from 1945-1965 before changing to St Matthias College Primary School from 1961-2000, when it became Fishponds Academy.
8. Penpole School
In this 1948 photo, pupils from class 4C of Penpole School are pictured looking into the future with a model of ‘a new Southmead’.
