GLF Schools (previously The Glyn Learning Foundation until July 2015[1]) is a multi-academy trust comprising of 42 schools (7 secondary schools, and 35 primary schools), with over 16,000 pupils[2] covering a wide area of Southern England, with clusters of schools in Oxfordshire, North Surrey, South London, and Hampshire.[3][4] GLF Schools is the 12th largest multi-academy trust in the UK and the first multi-academy trust to comprise of both primary and secondary schools in Surrey.[5][6]
History[edit]
GLF Schools was founded on 4 March 2011, with its first school year being 2012-2013, under the name 'The Glyn Learning Foundation[1] with only two schools,[5] being Glyn School and Danetree Primary School.[3] This grew to eight schools, with six joining at the start of the 2013-2014 school year.[3]
GLF Schools took on five schools during the 2016-2017 period, an increase to 24 schools from 19, and was due to take on three more schools before December 2017.[7]
In 2019, two academies run by the Floreat Education Academies Trust, founded by a Conservative Party peer, James O'Shaughnessy, were transferred to GLF Schools, after the founding trust closed due to financial problems.[8] Later in February of 2021, The Castle Trust handed Greenway Academy to GLF,[9] further growing the Trust.
In May 2023, the founding CEO of GLF Schools, Jon Chaloner, announced he was stepping down, he had been in the post for 11 years.[5] The current CEO, Julian Drinkall, entered the role in December 2023 after leading a "turnaround" at Academies Enterprise Trust.[10] He pledged to visit all 42 schools in his first school term as CEO.[11]
