History
Grammar school
The school was founded in 1921 as Kingswood Grammar School (KGS), a co-educational grammar school administered by the Gloucestershire Education Committee.
On 15 October 1946, 13-year-old Robert Hayes of Kingswood died at Cossham Memorial Hospital after being injured at the school when playing with blank cartridges he had found at an ammunition dump. His right hand was blown off and he had other injuries to his body.
In the 1960s the school had around 850 boys and girls, with 250 in the sixth form.
Comprehensive school
By 1970 it had been converted into a comprehensive school and was renamed Kingsfield School. The school was rebuilt after burning to the ground in 1976.[1]
Academy
Kingsfield School was rebranded as King's Oak Academy in September 2011. Its motto is "Work hard, be kind".
