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]
