History

Bruntcliffe Secondary School was built in the early 1960s^[1] on land adjacent to Bruntcliffe Lane.^[2] The arrival of the school saw the closure of Margetson County Secondary School in Drighlington.^[1]

In 2011, the school became a part of the Bruntcliffe Co-operative Learning Trust.^[3] In 2015, the school was transferred to the GORSE Academies Trust^[4] and became known as Bruntcliffe Academy.^[5]
