Abbeywood Community School is a mixed secondary school located in the Stoke Gifford area of South Gloucestershire, England.[1] Abbeywood Community School opened in 2010, replacing Filton High School, which previously occupied the site. Abbeywood’s governing body is the Olympus academy trust.
Overview
Abbeywood Community School was judged to be 'good' in all areas by Ofsted in 2018 and again in 2019. Abbeywood has been oversubscribed since 2015 and consequently is being expanded to accommodate 240 students in each year group. The school is part of the Olympus Academy Trust (which includes 9 schools locally.)[2] Admissions are coordinated by South Gloucestershire Council.
Facilities
Abbeywood benefits from facilities including sporting and leisure facilities, including flood-lit all–weather outside pitches, sports hall, a music recording studio, tennis and basketball courts, dance studio and access to Pro-5 football pitches. Secure WiFi access is available throughout the building, alongside teaching spaces for all subjects, including Science, Music, Art, Catering and Product Design.
