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.

Democracy

To understand how they can influence decision making through a democratic process  
To understand how to argue and defend a point of view 
To understand the importance of team work

At the beginning of the school year the children decide upon their class rules and the rights associated with these.

Each class vote in two school council representatives from Year 1-6 in the Autumn term, and 2 from Reception in the Summer term. 

This gives every class a say on the decisions that are made at our school.

The council meets every 2 weeks with the school Council Leader to discuss any issues raised in class council meetings.

The council is genuinely able to effect change within our school. Our PSHE curriculum encourages all aspects of respect for democracy and the democratic process.

In Year 6 two children are voted as House Captains for each of the 4 houses. Individual children are also appointed for posts of responsibility in the classroom such as class monitors, Eco- Warriors and Sports Council. 

There are also Vale Ambassadors  who monitor the children’s behaviour. All children have an annual questionnaire where they are able to put forward their views about the school.
