GLF Schools 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.
I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher at William Morris. Our school is truly unique, and I have had the privilege of being part of this community for seven years now. I started as a teacher and later took on a leadership role, which allowed me to develop a deep understanding of each and every child in our school.
We take immense pride in our "Outstanding" rating from OFSTED. However, we are more than just a grade; we are a close-knit community comprising remarkable children, dedicated and talented staff, and supportive parents. At William Morris, we never rest on our laurels.
We are committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of our educational offerings, always placing the well-being and development of our children at the forefront of our decision-making process.
