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.
We are delighted to welcome you to Southgate Primary School, part of the GLF Schools multi-academy Trust. January 2023 sees the exciting next step in Southgate's journey, striving to provide excellence for every child.
Southgate Primary is a safe and happy school, where the team ensures the care and support for every child as they grow, learn, and flourish during their time with us. Our focus on children's well-being results in each child being ready to learn and accessing the exciting opportunities available to them at all stages.
We are proud of our curriculum, carefully chosen to provide aspirational opportunities for all children to succeed. Whilst within school, staff and children love sharing their learning through open classrooms, workshops, and class assemblies.
