Scroll through to learn about 13 of the schools that Bristol has lost throughout the years.
1. Merrywood School
Merrywood school closed its doors in 2000 despite protests from parents. It taught children in south Bristol for more than a century before it was shut down - opening in 1896. It was closed alongside Pen Park School at the turn of the millennium as the local authority aimed to cut surplus places. | KYP
2. Pen Park School
As mentioned with Merrywood - the school was closed in 2000. The remaining 58 pupils and teaching staff held a moving memorial on closing day. The site was reopened as Southmead Community Sports Ground in 2012. | KYP
3. Lockleaze School
This image shows the school in 1958 - it would close in 2004 after more than 50 years of education. The early 2000s featured a radical shake-up of Bristol’s education system and this secondary school was one of many schools to close as a result. | KYP
