The Colston's philosophy is quite simple; happy children do well. In 2019 the ISI rated Colston’s as ‘Excellent’ in all areas. In their report they captured the true essence of Colston’s, highlighting the unique culture of the school as well as the less easy to measure elements, which combine to make a Colston’s education so special.

Our strong sporting tradition is at the heart of school life. We encourage everyone to get involved because physical education is important for a healthy mind and allows each pupil to develop self-esteem and a strong team ethic.

Colston’s is situated just north of Bristol city centre, with excellent links to the city, South Gloucestershire and beyond. We offer co-educational education from Nursery to Sixth Form – discover more by visiting our website colstons.org.
