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.
It is my very great pleasure to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Lightwater Village School. Our Infant School has been a feature of the local community since the 1930s and our Junior School has been part of the Lightwater community since the 1970s. Today, with the addition of our Nursery we are delighted to be able to offer a through provision from 2-11 years.
