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.

School Standards Board (SSB)

The Clerk to the School Standards Board can be contacted at KPrince1@glfschools.org 

Our SSB meets once per half term and provides the local governance function for Aureus School which fits within the overall governance structure of GLF Schools. Further information about governance at GLF Schools can be found here.

The three core functions of governance are:

  1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  2. Holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management, including well-being, of staff
  3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The SSB continues to have parent representatives and representatives from the local community, together with our Headteacher and representatives from the Trust’s central team. It remains important that our SSB comprises the right people with the right skills to make appropriate and informed decisions for the school, taking into account the views of students, staff, parents and the local community.

Chair

Local to School and keen to support my local community
Second time being a school Governor, previous school was a primary in Surrey, relocated 3 years ago, being involved in SSB was a way to get closer to my new community and understand the type of changes in secondary schools compared to when I was at school 30 odd years ago. 

 


I am a professionally qualified senior HR practitioner with 20 years experience which brings complimentary skill sets to support the strategic element of SSB, used to reviewing policies for example and thinking about longer term impact of decisions on people, of in this case the students and teaching staff.  Personal interest in secondary education with a teenage son and 3 teenage stepchildren, understanding focus areas help support at home. Keen interest in safeguarding.
