Secondary Education
- See also: List of schools in Bristol.
A reform school was set up in 1854 by Mary Carpenter, with the financial help of the poet Lord Byron's widow, at Bristol's Red Lodge.
The majority of Secondary Schools in Bristol are now academies. Out of the remaining schools one is still a community school (Fairfield), which is in the process of switching to an Academy in early 2013. Two are foundation schools and the remaining two are voluntary aided schools.

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or education:
“Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.”
—Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)
