Generations of children have attended St George Primary School since it was founded to provide an education to the sons and daughters of Bristol’s dockworkers.
But the historic primary school on Queen’s Parade at the foot of Brandon Hill has suffered from a drastic decline in pupil numbers, which for several years has put its finances in jeopardy and its future in doubt.
At a cabinet meeting on Thursday evening, the school’s fate was sealed. It will be closed and amalgamated with St Michael’s on the Mount Primary School, with who it already shares a headteacher.
