Strategy
We want each GLF school to have a unique identity tailored for children and young people. Alongside we want a strong, high-quality GLF entitlement running throughout from 2 to 18, built on collaboration and underpinned by our Foundation. We believe in the brilliant potential of GLF, leveraging both our significant scale and high level of geographic coherence for maximum impact.
We will drive at collective action which makes the biggest difference for our schools and 20,000 children and young people. We will ensure space for school level priorities and be agile to future change and follow through on our commitments.
We have launched our GLF Strategy for 2026-29 and you might find it helpful to watch the video for GLF colleagues.
We also have an Executive Summary version of our GLF Strategy which is available here: Executive Summary.
