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.

CaptureAt Meridian High School, we adopt a team approach. We believe our staff are the team to uphold our core values and to move our school forward in our journey of rapid and sustained improvement. We are unapologetically ambitious and relentless in our approach.  Our vision is one to be a centre of excellence for our community where students can present the best version of themselves where they are challenged, they learn and achieve all within and ethos of resilience, ambition and respect.

There is no doubt that Meridian High has been on an incredibly exciting journey of school improvement and our aim will be to continue to provide our young people and our community with the school they deserve. A school that is centred around learning, a school that, through strong pastoral support and high academic challenge, supports our students and our staff to thrive. 

We are proud to offer a broad and rich curriculum designed specifically with our students needs at the heart of it. Our core curriculum (not optional) is EBACC centric and all students, with the exception of those who need additional support with Literacy, study English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, World Views (RE), and Spanish. We understand the need to develop our student's understanding of the world in which they live and fully support the cultural appreciation offered by an extensive EBACC programme. At the end of Year 9, in addition to the core curriculum offer, students opt to continue with History or Geography, specialise in one aspect of our World Views Curriculum (Citizdenship, Psychology, Sociology), choose their pathways in Art, Drama or  BTEC Sport/GCSE PE, and Cambridge Nationals Business, Hospitality and Catering or Heathy and Social Care.

Our priorities for the academic year are:

As a staff body we are open, honest and transparent with each other. We are comfortable with feedback and challenge as we strive to improve. We support each other. We are authentic and reflective of our practice. We are rigorous and relentless. We use robust assessment to inform our planning; we know our students’ academic and pastoral needs. We celebrate mistakes as opportunities to learn and improve. We always put the students at the centre of decision-making. We embrace change and we do not fear failure. We ask questions, we communicate.

I am absolutely honoured to be part of the journey we have been on since 2019 and I am excited for the next academic year. It is a privilege to work with such an exceptional team.
