History

In January 2013 the trust commenced sponsorship of Abbeywood Community School, a local secondary school placed in Special Measures. The school was subsequently judged to be 'GOOD' in all areas in a 2015 Ofsted inspection, and judged to have no change to their previous 'GOOD' rating in 2018.

In January 2015 Meadowbrook and Charborough Road primaries joined the trust, followed by Callicroft, Filton Hill, and Stoke Lodge primary schools in September 2016; Callicroft and Stoke Lodge having previously been overseen by the Cosmos Academy Trust. Bradley Stoke secondary became an all-through school with its own primary phase in September 2015.
