Brislington Enterprise College is a large, co-educational general Community school based in the Brislington area of the English city of Bristol.
It is a Business and Enterprise specialist college and Teaching Development Agency designated training school.
BEC has recently had new buildings completed. The new buildings and artificial turf are worth around 20,000,000, and have been designed and built by Skanska. The artificial turf is currently open for to the college. The new buildings were opened at the beginning of September 2008 and officially opened in October 2008 by Kevin McCloud. The sixth form common room was opened much later at the end of the 08/09 year due to the old "clc building" being reallocated as the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Centre. The old buildings have now been demolished and landscaped.
The school has learning communities named: cougar, panther, leopard, lynx, serval, puma and jaguar. Each community operates as a 'school-within-a-school', leading to improved human-scale learning.
Its grounds are also home to City Learning Centre @ Brislington.[1]
BEC appeared on the Channel 4 episode, Dispatches: The Children Left Behind, on 11 February 2008.[2] as well as a number of episodes for teachers tv
