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 - School Standards Board

Our School Standards Board (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

The SSB is made up of individuals with a diverse set of skills and expertise which we effectively deploy in order to support the Executive Headteacher and Head of School in the formulation of strategic plans and policies for the short, medium and long term future of the school

 

As part of the GLF Schools multi-academy trust, The Beacon is able to benefit from the support and opportunities of that trust membership.  Being part of a Trust allows us to work within a governance structure which is different from a traditional Governing Body model and from 2020 our local governance body is now called a School Standards Board.  This Board will continue to include parent representatives, elected in the same way as parent governors were previously, and representatives from the local community, together with our Headteacher - Mr J Grant Duff and representatives from the Trust’s central team.

The Beacon’s Schools Standards Board (SSB) meets once per half term and provides the local governance function for the schools which fits within the overall governance structure of GLF Schools.
