History

Boyn Hill Church of England Senior Girls' School (1836–1907) and St Luke's Church of England Secondary Boys' School (1836–1907) both shared the present site of Altwood School. In 1907 the two schools merged to produce a co-educational school called Altwood Church of England Secondary School.

Altwood School became a comprehensive school in 1975. In 2007 it became a Business and Enterprise College specialist school.[1] The school converted to academy status in August 2012.
