All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham
All Saints' Academy is a self proclaimed Christian church school in Cheltenham in cooperation with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton and the Church of England Diocese of Gloucester. Construction started in April 2010. The academy opened in September 2011. The project was budgeted to cost nearly £25 million with £2 million on IT equipment. 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.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 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.All Saints' Academy was rated good but requires improvement after an Ofsted inspection in late 2014-2018 In May 2010, an Anglo-Saxon settlement was discovered on the site.
