The Olympus Academy Trust is delighted to have entered into a new partnership with boomsatsuma from September 2023.
We are excited to announce plans to establish a Post 16 creative technologies pathway for Olympus students, with support from boomsatsuma, in the way that we have already developed an engineering pathway at Abbeywood Community School.
The highly successful boomsatsuma suite of post 16 courses will continue to run at their existing sites in central Bristol but we plan to offer courses in our Olympus Post 16 settings from 2024, including at Patchway Community School, when it moves into its new building and state of the art facilities. This will widen opportunity for students in North Bristol and South Gloucestershire, giving access to courses not currently available locally.
We look forward to sharing future opportunities for our Post 16 learners with you at our Olympus Post 16 Open Events taking place at the end of October and beginning of November and we are pleased that boomsatsuma will be with us to share details of their courses too.

Dave Baker, Olympus CEO said:
“Boomsatsuma’s track record is impressive, both in terms of courses offered and outcomes achieved by students. I am delighted that we are able to work in partnership to bring their offer to Olympus students from 2024.”
Mark Curtis, boomsatsuma Creative Director says:
“This is an exciting expansion adding to our capacity, going from five to six College facilities (alongside our two additional Degree centres) to create opportunities for young people who crave an alternative education offering. Putting the boom into the Olympus Trust engine feels very comfortable, as they clearly share our values and endorse our philosophy to put the students at the centre of our educational practices. Bringing their engineering and our creative technology curriculums closer will be an exciting development for the future of Bristol.”
