Pupils from Bedminster Down and Monks Park schools move into their new buildings after the Easter break.

The schools were built as part of a �120m contract with building firm HBG to rebuild and maintain four city schools over the next 25 years.

Schools at Henbury and Portway have already opened as part of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI).

Four other schools - Hartcliffe, Whitefield Fishponds, Brislington and Speedwell Technology College - will be rebuilt or refurbished with �150m of PFI money under the 'Building Schools for the Future' programme.

Bristol is pioneering the scheme, which promises the rebuilding or refurbishment of all English secondary schools over the next 15 years.

Two other schools scheduled for the city will be built under more traditional arrangements: Fairfield School on the site of St Thomas More and a new North Bristol Institute in Redland and Cotham.
