The Cossham Street site was demolished in 1996 to make way for the [Emersons Green](/source/Emersons_Green) housing estate. At this time, the whole school was moved to the enlarged Rodway site.[5] Previously a [community school](/source/Community_school_(England_and_Wales)) administered by [South Gloucestershire Council](/source/South_Gloucestershire_Council), Mangotsfield School converted to [academy status](/source/Academy_(English_school)) in September 2015 sponsored by Castle School Educational Trust. However the school continues to coordinate with South Gloucestershire Council for admissions. ## Structure The school operates within five blocks: - A Block: ICT, Business and Humanities. - B Block: Art, Drama, P.E and Music - C Block: maths, English and MFL - D Block: Science - E Block: Design Technology The school also has a Student Centre, Dining Hall, drama and PE Sports Hall. It is complemented by an astro pitch and tennis courts (Rodway Hill Tennis Centre). ## Alumni ### Rodway Technical High School - [Tim Brain](/source/Tim_Brain) - Chief Constable of Gloucestershire ### Rodway School - [Sara Dallin](/source/Sara_Dallin) and [Keren Woodward](/source/Keren_Woodward) of [Bananarama](/source/Bananarama) - Australian celebrity chef James [Reeson](/source/Alive_and_Cooking) – chase school for boys - [John Hegley](/source/John_Hegley), [performance poet](/source/Performance_poetry) - [Phil Kite](/source/Phil_Kite_(footballer)), goalkeeper for [Bristol Rovers](/source/Bristol_Rovers_F.C.) - Dave Kirby, general legend ### Former teachers - [Malcolm Arnold (athletics coach)](/source/Malcolm_Arnold_(athletics_coach)) (1964–68), became Head Coach of UK Athletics from 1994 to 1997 - David Parsons (councillor) CBE (science teacher in the 1980s), former president from 1975 to 1976 of [Oxford University Student Union](/source/Oxford_University_Student_Union), and Conservative Leader from 2003 to 2012 of [Leicestershire County Council](/source/Leicestershire_County_Council) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [http://www.mangotsfieldschool.org.uk/About-Us](http://www.mangotsfieldschool.org.uk/About-Us) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20160519160451/http://www.mangotsfieldschool.org.uk/About-Us) 19 May 2016 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) Retrieved *01 June 2016.* 1. **[^](#cite_ref-Ofsted_2-0)** *Ofsted Inspection Report 08-09 January 2015.* [http://www.mangotsfieldschool.org.uk/c/asset/Ofsted%20Report%20Jan%202015.pdf](http://www.mangotsfieldschool.org.uk/c/asset/Ofsted%20Report%20Jan%202015.pdf) Retrieved 01 June 2016. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** *Four Houses – One Community.
