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:
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“It is not every man who can be a Christian, even in a very moderate sense, whatever education you give him. It is a matter of constitution and temperament, after all. He may have to be born again many times. I have known many a man who pretended to be a Christian, in whom it was ridiculous, for he had no genius for it. It is not every man who can be a free man, even.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
