Gloucestershire Learning Alliance: Our Multi-Academy Trust

All new schools now open as academies which means that Longford Park Primary Academy will not be under the direct control of the local authority. Gloucestershire County Council embarked on a thorough consultation and bid process, recommending the Gloucestershire Learning Alliance (GLA) to the Department for Education as preferred sponsors. The GLA were delighted that the secretary of state for education approved this decision, enabling this local, highly respected trust to run an excellent school for Longford.

The creation of the GLA is rooted in a partnership ethos and a determination to ensure that more Gloucestershire young people receive an exceptional education through outstanding teaching. The benefits to the Longford community include a launch Headteacher and shared capacity of expertise across three schools so that no time is wasted in flying high at Longford Park.

The founding members are:

  • Rowanfield Junior School – Graded ‘outstanding’ January 2014
  • Bishops Cleeve Primary Academy – Graded ‘Good with outstanding features’ March 2014
  • Springbank Primary Academy – Graded ‘good’ with outstanding leadership June 2012

There are high levels of trust between the family of schools, recognising the unique characteristics of each community and tailoring the education to meet the needs of their local children. They all share an ambition to provide an outstanding education for all children and this is the aim for Longford.
