Sorry for posting here for traffic but I'm struggling to find answers through my own research.

My DH has a new job and we're looking to move to Bristol area as a result of this. Any advice on best areas to aim for or areas to avoid? Any primary schools to avoid??

Doesn't necessarily have to be in Bristol city itself, surrounding areas would be okay too. I'm just finding it so hard to figure it all out. House move with so many unknowns plus school move for multiple kids is making my brain explode!

Please help 🙏🙏🙏

Bishopston / Horfield have some lovely primary schools.
Bishop Road, Ashley Down, Brunel Field and Sefton Park are all fantastic schools.

Bristol resident here, for 10years but hard to answer your question as there are lots of good and bad bits so need more details! It's good bad traffic so being near the work rather than the other side of the city is a good idea. The "centre" is really spread out and it's more about the culture of the regions - that's what people discuss. Eg Clifton vs Redland, Stokes Croft, St Paul's etc - all very very different vibe
