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.

Governance

Forge Wood Primary School is part of GLF Schools, a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) of 43 Primary and Secondary schools.  The governance structure of the Trust had been developed to support both the culture of GLF Schools and the effective management of a large organisation. GLF Schools recognises the individuality of each school and that each school has its own distinct character and culture that is respectful of its community and context.

The Trust Board has overall responsibility for the school and has delegated the responsibility to implement and review the school's strategic plans to the School Standards Board (SSB) for Forge Wood Primary School.

The SSB has the following core responsibilities:

  • Strategic oversight of the education provision of the School
  • Strategic oversight of compliance of the School with Trust Policies
  • Supporting the Trust Board to ensure good governance across the Trust
