Enjoyment

The Vale is a small school with a friendly and supportive staff team. We ensure that our staff are able to build on their skills whilst maintaining a work life balance, that is so essential in teaching. Each person’s contribution is valued and staff feel listened to. We work closely with other nearby schools and within the wider GLF network. There is a strong community culture that is evident throughout the school.

GLF Schools promotes a cross-cluster collaborative approach, allowing colleagues to share expertise and experience, ensuring all children in our schools receive an excellent education and reach their potential. Through this cluster model, GLF Schools is committed to providing opportunities for professional development and career progression.

Our School sits within a newly established cluster of Primary schools, overseen by a Regional Director. Along with The Vale, our cluster includes the following other schools; Cuddington Croft Primary School, Warren Mead Infant and Junior Schools, Banstead Infants School, Danetree Primary School and Floreat Wandsworth Primary School.  

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”
