(selected and funded by the European Research Council and UK Research and Innovation, respectively) that is being conducted with 10 primary schools and their surrounding communities in Bristol. Like many urban centres across the country, Bristol is a divided city – a place of both great wealth and significant poverty. As these maps show, contiguous neighbourhoods are starkly different in terms of their infrastructures, socioeconomic demographics and education provision. Inequities in school provision are deepening in the city: government schools, already squeezed by decades of funding cuts, are facing large budget deficits, while Bristol has a high concentration of private school places.

It is important to understand the geographies of inequality in Bristol with respect to its history. As a port city and centre of the transatlantic slave trade, the concentration of Bristol’s wealth today is inextricably tied to the enduring histories of dispossession and exploitation of Black people. The production of racial and class inequality interlock and education continues to be steeped in these dynamics of racial capitalism (Gerrard et al., 2022).
