Thank you to all of our school community for supporting PTA events over the past year. With the money raised we have been able to purchase some wonderful sensory chimes for our garden area. Without the hard work of members of the PTA this would not be possible-so thank you all!

Year 1 went on a school trip to the British Motor Museum. Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed their time dressing up as bus drivers, riding on a 100-year-old bus and investigating the first ever car. Here are some pictures of the cars we observed and the costumes we dressed up in.

To enhance our STEAM learning this term our Year 1 class visited the British Motor Museum at Gaydon. The class had the chance to investigate lots of different motor vehicles and see how they have developed over time. They even got to sit in the vehicles and get dressed up. pic.twitter.com/RknBFOOynI

KS2 competed in their second House Competition of the academic year. The challenge involved orienteering, searching for puzzle pieces with the aid of a map of the school grounds. However, it wasn’t that easy. There were lots of challenges to earn their puzzle pieces to begin with

School Experience  

We believe that having some school experience is highly beneficial if you are considering training to be a teacher as it allows you to see the nature of the role and ensure that it is right for you before you apply or undertake your training. 

  • To support potential applicants and gain this invaluable experience, GLF Teacher Training offers one-day School Experience visits to a selection of schools within our partnership. These experience days are only open to eligible candidates to start teacher training programmes in September 2026. 
  • Often those keen to train like to pre- visit the school they are applying to, so they are familiar with it aims and values. 
  • To register for more information and to find out if you are eligible, please complete our registration form HERE. 
  • Our School Experience programme in any of our GLF schools can be found by visiting the Department for Education’s School Experience site Get school experience - GOV.UK or by contacting us info@glftt.org  

 

Recruitment for our 2026-27 cohort is now OPEN!
