Education
Bishops Cleeve has two primary schools; Grangefield is the relatively newest primary school built after the Western extension of Bishops Cleeve, built on land owned by the Zurich and Capita who are situated in the tallest and biggest commercial building in Bishops Cleeve behind the school.
The other primary school (Bishops Cleeve Primary Academy School) is at the heart of Bishops Cleeve situated near town/village centre. It is the oldest and biggest primary school and well known for performing considerably well. The school recently became an academy school and hosts main events during the school year.
Cleeve secondary school has recently been developing dramatically after millions of pounds of school funding. With the money they modernized old parts of the school with brand new Science, IT, Modern Languages and Learning skills departments. The school has recently been facing criticism after deciding to change the school logo. The original logo was a Bishops hat which is the logo for the football team, primary school, many shops and even the logo of Bishops Cleeve itself.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children. Consider the silent influence which flowers exert, no less upon the ditcher in the meadow than the lady in the bower. When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In that reconciling of God and Mammon which Mrs. Grantly had carried on so successfully in the education of her daughter, the organ had not been required, and had become withered, if not defunct, through want of use.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
