City Academy, Bristol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The City Academy, Bristol (sometimes inaccurately referred to as Bristol City Academy) is a non-selective and privately funded academy in Bristol, England. It forms part of the UK Labour government's scheme for providing better schools in deprived areas.
The school is located in the St George area of Bristol and was formerly St George Community College. It is now housed in state-of-the-art buildings within a £30million complex.
Both the University of the West of England and Bristol City Football Club are partners with the school and helped fund the school's lavish buildings and top-of-the-line equipment. The school has frequently been featured on news programmes as one of the most successful state-funded schools in Bristol (which has an unusually large problem for such a rich city, with most parents sending their children to private schools if they can).
