Britain's Princess Anne will open Bristol's first all-age school next month.

The 59-year-old royal will tour the Bridge Learning Campus on October 12, meeting toddlers in the nursery school before viewing the state-of-the-art facilities in the primary and secondary schools.

She will also watch the school's special needs students preparing lunch and enjoying their sensory garden and hydrotherapy pool.

The visit will conclude with Anne unveiling a plaque marking the official launch.

Bridge Learning Campus Chief Executive Mark Davies said: "We are absolutely thrilled that the Princess Royal is helping us to mark our official launch. The campus is flourishing and everyone is so positive about the future and what we are going to do here."

It has nearly 1,700 places across the nursery, primary and secondary schools, as well as specialised student support centre, special school and vocational training centre.

The school opened earlier this year.
