Good Independent Schools in the Bristol/Bath area?

[flute123]

Can anyone help us out? We are most likely to be moving and hoping to be in Keynsham. The Bristol and Bath schools are probably the easiest to get to but we'd be willing to travel further for the right school. DCs = musical, not particularly sporty, solidly academic but nothing spectacular. Looking for a good all round academic school with good music provision. Thanks!

mumeuro, I was there 1986 - 1993 (I'm 37 now arghhhhh!)

I live near Keynsham and my ds goes to Colston's. Bristol traffic is an issue . Even though my son is very academic, straight A*, after visiting both state and private it was the whole package that Colston's offered that appealed to him and to us. Take as much time as you have to visit the schools. All the schools already mentioned are good schools, so ultimately other things may influence your decision like travel time, and the other things the schools offer.

don't worry jo164, I'm even older than you! I left Wellsway in 1980...

I would like your views on the best school for a 6 year old in Bristol.Bristol Grammar School BGS or Clifton college.Been to both schools and they both gave us a good tour,my son has had a taster day in both and says he liked them both.the food at BGS was nice and he liked hockey at Clifton college.help
