Bradley Stoke Community School is a mixed gender Secondary Academy, located in Bradley Stoke, South Gloucestershire, England, on the outskirts of Bristol. As of January 2012 the school has 1,120 students aged 11 to 18.[1]
History
The construction of BSCS was completed in July 2005 and the school opened in September to accommodate the year 7 pupils. In 2008, the school was awarded specialist status in Performing Arts. The school was rated outstanding by the Ofsted inspection in November 2009.[2]
In January 2012, the school converted to an academy. The school's name remained the same, but the academy trust was named the Olympus Academy Trust after the Rolls-Royce Olympus jet engine which powered Concorde.[3] The academy is part of the Concorde Partnership, a collaboration between South Gloucestershire and Stroud College and nine schools in South Gloucestershire which share resources and courses.[4]
In January 2013 Abbeywood Community School converted to academy status as part of the Olympus Academy Trust.
