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 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 there are currently:

 

 

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.

 

We support the opportunities of children and students within GLF Schools through funding directed in three areas: Projects, Programmes and People Awards.

The Foundation will provide the opportunity for all students to have exposure to life experiences to ensure essential skills are developed in order for them to fulfil their potential.

Our focus will be on the following priority areas:

 

“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."
