Pupils from Henbury School have taken part in the Pilot Project for the Community Transformers Fund. The fund is a new scheme set up by The Safer Bristol Partnership and the Police Community Trust. Under the scheme young people can put forward bids for projects they have devised to benefit the community through their school or youth worker. There will be a special Oscar style award ceremony in October, with special awards for the most successful ideas and the young people who have contributed the most.
In Henbury pupils from the school identified a problem with graffiti in the entrance hall of the Laundry room at Henbury Court Flats. As part of their artwork in school the pupils designed murals to go on the walls. The residents were asked for their opinions on which designs they liked the most. They prepared the walls ready for the new murals, then worked under the supervision of an Urban Artist to paint the chosen designs onto the walls. The room has now been transformed, and the pupils have received very positive feedback about their mural. A big thank you to all the young people and staff from Henbury School for all their hard work and making this pilot project so successful.

I agree with headteacher Clare Bradford there is no need for another school in those areas,there are two good schools already there Red Maids and Badmington school these people want their children educated on the cheap,most of them affluent people, are typical of Charlotte Leslie class some thing for nothing, the money given to these free schools will be taken from the education budget so the rest of the schools will have a short fall.
