All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham

School in Gloucestershire, England

Red and whiteWebsitewww.asachelt.org

All Saints' Academy is a Christian church school^[1] in Cheltenham in cooperation with the Church of England Diocese of Gloucester. Construction started in April 2010.^[2] The academy opened in September 2011.^[3] The project was budgeted to cost nearly £25 million with £2 million on IT equipment.^[4] The school replaced Kingsmead and Christ College which opened as recently as 2007 as the county's first joint Roman Catholic and Church of England school.^[5]

Christ College had used the premises formerly occupied by St Benedict's from 1962 to 2007 which had been Catholic secondary School in Cheltenham. The opportunity of having a newly built school on the site of Kingsmead School formerly occupied by Arle School from 1959 to 1995 Kingsmead was closing due to falling numbers having been in special measures^[5] and turning the school into an academy justified making a fresh start with a new name. The school has room to educate 1150 students aged 11–18 and the school's specialisms will be science and sport.^[6]

All Saints' Academy was rated good after an Ofsted inspection in late 2018.

In May 2010, an Anglo-Saxon settlement was discovered on the site.^[3]
