Bloomfield Collegiate School

Bloomfield Collegiate School is a controlled grammar school for girls located in Ballyhackamore in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1]

History

Bloomfield was founded in 1905, one of a number of private school foundations of that era. It was originally proprietary (owned by the headmistress), co-educational, and accepted boarding students. It discontinued co-education in 1915.[2]

House System

Bloomfield has a house system consisting of four houses named after previous headmistresses: Clarke, Curran, Spencer and Walker. The houses are each represented by four colors: blue (Clarke), red (Curran), green (Spencer) and yellow (Walker)

Notable former pupils
gollark: It finished and nothing exploded, we're good.
gollark: I said *might*. Hopefully it won't.
gollark: osmarks.tk (and therefore skynet/potatOS) are possibly going down for a bit (hopefully not), since I'm flashing new firmware on my server, and this is fraught with danger.
gollark: alexa play potatOS
gollark: Why would that HELP?
