GLF Schools

GLF Schools was founded in 2012 in order to enable the federation of Glyn School (an academy in 2011) and Danetree Junior School. Together, we began our journey to become a MAT of more than 1000 talented staff working with over 10,000 children in 40 schools across 5 regions in southern England.

Nursery and Reception were visited by the police today. They talked about their job, how they helped people. The children tried on their uniform and went outside to see inside the police car. They even tried the siren- what an amazing experience for our children. Thank you Surrey Police #ActiveLearning #keepingsafe #peoplewhohelpus #policeofthefuture #inspiringall GLF Schools
