Head's Welcome

Choosing a school where your child will be happy, and where they will fully develop all of their potential is one of the most important decisions you and your child will ever make. Every school can tell you about its results, facilities and opportunities - and those things matter - but what truly sets a school apart is how it feels to be a part of it.

At Collegiate, we believe young people achieve their very best when they are known, challenged and genuinely happy. Ours is an ambitious school where academic success for each individual sits alongside exceptional opportunities in sport, music, drama, the arts, leadership and service. We want every pupil to discover what inspires them, develop confidence in themselves and leave us ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Our community is wonderfully diverse, welcoming families from across Bristol and beyond. Whether pupils join us in Pre-Prep, Year 7, Sixth Form or somewhere in between, they quickly become part of a school where kindness, respect and high expectations go hand in hand.

Of course, I could tell you much more about our excellent teaching, beautiful campus and wide-ranging co-curricular programme, but no website can truly capture the spirit of Collegiate. The best way to understand what makes this school special is to pay us a visit. Spend time with our pupils. Meet our staff. Walk around the campus. Imagine how happy your child will be at Collegiate!

I think you'll notice something that is difficult to describe but impossible to miss: a school where young people are busy, confident, curious and enjoying their education.

We would be delighted to welcome you and your family, and I hope to meet you soon.

Mr. J. S. McCullough MA (Oxon)
