"As headteacher, I see it as a great privilege when a parent allows us the honour of educating their child. We are on an incredibly exciting journey, one I would wholly recommend your child join us on."
P Lewis Headteacher
We promise to:
- Provide a challenging, and academic, curriculum ‘grammar school expectations for all’.
- Support every child in their ‘own personal journey to the very best university or profession’.
- Provide disruption free learning
- Embed a comprehensive literacy and reading programme.
- Provide an opportunity for all students to represent the academy, be it in sports teams or other challenges.
- Expect students to ‘work hard and be kind’.
- Have exemplary standards of uniform, punctuality and behaviour at all times.
- Provide support to allow all children to achieve.
- Have specialist teachers in every classroom, teaching their own subject.
- Create a warm, welcoming and rewarding culture for all students

In-year applications
To apply for a place at Gloucester Academy other than at the specified dates of entry, parents should contact the school to obtain the In-Year Admission Form. The In-Year Admission Form should be completed and returned directly to the school.
Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will maintain a waiting list according to the oversubscription criteria detailed in the school’s admission arrangements without regard to the date the application was received or when a child’s name was added to the waiting list.
Positions on the waiting lists may go down as well as up. This is because other children might be added to the waiting list who have a greater priority for a place against the school’s admission criteria; for example, when new families move into the area or when other families who had not previously named Gloucester Academy as a preference, ask to go on the waiting list after the initial allocations date.
