Every year our new year 7 cohort attend a residential trip to Viney Hill Adventure Centre. For most students this will be the first time that they have been away from home without their parents of carers. We understand what a big step it is to join secondary school and our trip to Viney Hill helps our young people to try new things in a safe environment. The crate stack is a favourite with staff and students, along with the night hike and camp fire. 

The 2 night residential trip is provided free to all of our new entrants and is a brilliant start to their GA school career. It's a privilege to see our young people try new experiences, making new friends and even taking part in a talent show. 

Once you have accepted your child's place at Gloucester Academy, further details will be provided on our August 2023 trip!
