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.^[1]

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.^[2] 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.^[3]

In January 2013 Abbeywood Community School converted to academy status as part of the Olympus Academy Trust.
