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.

NEW: NPQ Funding Spring 2025

NPQ Funding Spring 2025

We are pleased to announce that there will be a second cohort of NPQs for this academic year and they will commence in Spring 2025.  

Scholarship funding will be available to teachers from publicly funded schools and 16-19 educational organisations in the following NPQs:  

  • NPQLPM- Leading Primary Mathematics  
  • NPQSEN – NPQ for those leading on SEND** 
  • NPQH - Headship  
  • NPQLTD – Leading Teacher Development (only for Lead Mentors working with an accredited ITT provider in 24-25) 

 

For all other NPQs, scholarship funding to cover the full NPQ course cost will be available to selected schools with the following criteria:  

  • The 50% of schools with the highest proportion of students who attract pupil premium funding. (The headteacher will have been contacted by email by GLF TSH if their school is eligible) 
  • 16-19 educational settings identified as having a high disadvantage  
  • Early Years settings that meet the highly disadvantaged criteria (this is relevant for the Early Years Leadership NPQ only) 

In addition, funding is also available for:  

  • The Early Headship Coaching Offer, if you are in the first 5 years of headship; those heads will also need to be doing, or have done, the Headship NPQ  

 

We are planning on working with the same two providers as the Autumn cohort; BPN (Best Practice Network) and Teach First.

For schools who are not eligible for funded places on all programmes, applications are still welcome however there will be a cost associated, as follows:
