Chipping Sodbury School was previously administered by South Gloucestershire Council and the Chipping Sodbury School Co-operative Trust as a foundation school. In April 2021 the school converted to academy status and is now part of The Athelstan Trust.[2]

The school has been on its present site since 1938, when Chipping Sodbury Grammar School moved there. It became a comprehensive school in 1970.[3] Chipping Sodbury Grammar School had been established in 1913, in what is now Chipping Sodbury Town Hall.[4]

Before converting into an academy, the school had been given 'requires improvement' ratings by the educational review body Ofsted at inspections in December 2013, December 2015 and June 2018.[5]

Chipping Sodbury School offers GCSEs, BTECs and OCR Nationals as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs. The sixth form provision of the school is offered in conjunction with Brimsham Green School and Yate Academy in Yate.[6]

As of 2018, the school had 772 pupils.
