Our Multi-Academy Trust

The GLA is a small Trust of eight schools (soon to be nine): Badsey First Primary School, Bishops Cleeve Primary Academy, Great Oldbury Primary Academy, Rowanfield Junior School, Rowanfield Infant School, Springbank Primary Academy, Longford Park Primary Academy and Tredington Primary School. The Trust will be opening another school in Bishops Cleeve, 2025, called Greenacres.

How It Started

In November 2013, Bishops Cleeve, Rowanfield Juniors and Springbank formalised their existing partnership centred on quality education through excellent teaching and created the GLA.  Central to the formation of the Trust, was a shared drive for outstanding teaching and outcomes for children.

In September 2017, the Trust opened a new academy, Longford Park Primary Academy. Rowanfield Infant School also joined the GLA increasing the number of schools.  There are also two nurseries within the GLA. 

Trust Vision

The GLA schools have a shared vision: 

Over the last five years, the GLA has developed a positive reputation for quality-first teaching and learning,  sharing the immense expertise, talent and experience across the individual academies, working with schools in special measures as well as supporting schools through bespoke training.
