GLF Schools was founded in 2012 in order to enable the federation of Glyn School, an academy since 2011, and Danetree Junior School. Having worked in partnership since October 2010, both schools’ governing bodies and leadership teams believed that, as like-minded partners, working in different sectors gave incredible opportunities to the children and students of both schools. Armed with that simple philosophy, we began our ‘journey’ — a journey that would help us become a MAT of more than 1000 talented staff working with over 17,000 children in 42 schools across 5 regions in southern England.

The Elliot Foundation aims to build self-improving, self-sustaining clusters of thriving primary academies. We currently have 28 schools across three clusters in the West Midlands, London and East Anglia. The Trust has an internal offer of Learning and Development for the schools that includes NPQs, the ECT Development Programme, apprenticeships and leadership and coaching programmes. The Trust is also fortunate to have a Research School in place which enhances the offer and puts the rigour of R&D at the heart of our offer.
