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:
“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
