The GLA has a strong vision of outstanding outcomes for children, supported by a clear and aligned education model and school improvement strategy.

The creation of the GLA 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.

Through effective recruitment and teaching and learning policies, we have benefitted from the shared capacity of expertise that has significantly impacted on the outcomes we are able to achieve.

There are high levels of trust between the schools and staff at all levels are committed to working together.

We recognise the extended opportunities for professional development the GLA brings and the benefits of sharing expertise and generating innovation by pooling ideas and working together.
