Gloucestershire Learning Alliance

Previously known as Gloucestershire Learning Alliance until August 2023, we are a Trust of 11 thriving primary schools.

We originally started life in 2013 as a group of three Gloucestershire schools working together Over the last eleven years, we have expanded successfully beyond Gloucestershire, hence our recent change to being known as The GLA Trust.

The creation of The GLA Trust was a natural progression of our belief in a partnership ethos and our determination to ensure that more young people receive an exceptional education through Quality First Teaching.

Testimonials

"What we observed within GLA is strong elements of both culture and strategy. Leaders have a clear vision for best practice and strong implementation strategies to deliver that vision. The observed culture within GLA is a significant enabler for implementation". (Simon Hague - Croft MAT CEO)
"Staff, including those in the early stages of their careers, are overwhelmingly positive about the support that they receive from the trust and school leaders for their workload and well-being. They appreciate the strong focus on their professional development". (Great Oldbury Primary Academy 2024 Ofsted Report)
"I would highly recommend the GLA future leaders course. It has been insightful and empowering! It's provided valuable strategies for leading with confidence and fostering growth in both students and colleagues". (Emily Pergusey - Reception Year Group Leader at Charlton Kings Infant School)
"Through joining the GLA, our school community is now part of a collaborative, forward thinking and expert network which stretches beyond the idea of just 'being in a trust'. There is a real sense of belonging, and a passionate drive to be better together, ensuring that all children achieve and believe that they can be the best versions of themselves they deserve to be". (Danielle Morley - Headteacher at Northway Infant School)
"Prior to joining GLA, a huge concern was not so much that as a school we would lose autonomy but, if the rumours were to be listened to, having to become rigidly uniformed in all areas. I am pleased to say that four months in, I am relieved to find this is very much a misconception". (Tris Evans - Co-Headteacher at Carrant Brook Junior School)
