GLF Schools

What We Do

In the UK, we are facing a huge challenge in tackling the issue of social mobility.

Almost 20% of children within GLF Schools are recognised as being disadvantaged due to their family’s socio-economic status.

Generally, those disadvantaged students face extra challenges in reaching their potential at school as they have less opportunities and experiences to develop the essential skills to succeed.

Within GLF Schools (with latest data of July 2026) there are currently:

  • Over 20,000 Total Students
  • Over 4,000 classifi­ed as Disadvantaged
  • Over 3,000 receiving Free School Meals
  • Over 300 in the Social Care System

Access to experiences can be expensive, a cost some families do not have the luxury of accommodating in their fi­nances.

"As a former student and Head Boy, I know that GLF Schools can transform lives and enable us to overcome adversity, whilst continuing to inspire and achieve."
