GLF Schools is a Multi-Academy Trust established in 2012. We believe that every child in our schools can achieve the highest academic standards whilst enjoying a vibrant, challenging and rich curriculum. What we say in our motto is true: "Where Children Grow, Learn and Flourish." Whilst operating as a part of a family, each of our schools has its own distinct character and culture which is respectful of its community and context but their utmost common ground is that it is our staff that make each school. Our collective GLF culture is built upon caring for our children and students by enabling our staff to provide the best possible education with the resources at our disposal.

We have a simple mission. "To be a supportive family of schools where together we grow, learn and flourish”.

Joining GLF schools brings a wealth of opportunity both personally and professionally. Each school in our trust has its own individual identity, while benefiting from the expertise that comes from a dedicated and experienced support team. GLF Schools will recognise your skills, encourage creativity and provide opportunities for you to grow, learn and flourish. As a member of staff you can expect GLF to invest in your career progression, provide a bespoke career development plan and offer the potential to be fast tracked into leadership.

Our school is located in Camberley, which has a good mix of accommodation, independent shops and high street names as well as a purpose built, modern entertainment complex “The Atrium”, featuring a wide selection of restaurants, a children’s indoor pay area, cinema and bowling. Both The Mall Camberley and The Atrium shopping centre have experienced a flurry of new tenants since the start of 2014, which are a welcome addition to the already vibrant town centre. The surrounding villages have an incredible history starting in the neo-lithic period, moving through to a Royal hunting ground at Bagshot Park in the 14th century and notorious highway men in the 17 and 18th centuries.  The military arrived in 1853 and the National Rifle Association came to Bisley in 1890. 

There are 2 museums with free entry:  the Royal Logistical Corps Museum at Deepcut Barracks, and the Surrey Heath Museum in Camberley where the heathland story is a permanent display.  The Surrey Heath Archaeology Centre at Bagshot houses many exciting finds and gives regular talks by resident and visiting experts.

Frimley Lodge Park is a multi-award winning “Green Flag” park and includes access to the Canal, a miniature railway, pitch and putt, “Flourish” community garden, BBQ hire, play areas and sports pitches.  Health and fitness opportunities are numerous including two purpose built leisure centres (the Arena and Lightwater), private gyms, numerous golf courses (including Camberley Heath, Pine Ridge and Windlesham) and water sports on Mytchett Lake. 

 

Camberley railway station is situated south of the town centre on the Ascot to Guildford line. It is connected to Guildford, Aldershot and Ascot by South West Trains with two trains per hour in either direction. Nearby Blackwater station (situated perpendicular to the A30 on the border of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire) on the North Downs Line is operated by First Great Western, with trains running to Reading, Guildford, Redhill and Gatwick Airport.

 

Several bus companies operate routes through Camberley including: First Berkshire & The Thames Valley to Bracknell; Arriva Guildford & West Surrey to Guildford via Woking; Stagecoach South to Aldershot, Basingstoke and Farnborough; and Dicksons Travel to Staines and Woking
