GLF Schools

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.

Key Stage Results

At Chestnut Park we have high aspirations for our children in terms of academic achievement. Mobility is particularly high at Chestnut Park as children and their families arrive new into the area and, many move out of Croydon over time. A whole school focus on language development and timely intervention ensures children are not disadvantaged by mobility and we aim to support children who are new to the school to catch up quickly. This ensures we fulfil our vision of 'Dream- Achieve-Inspire' through our curriculum core drivers of 'Diversity, Enterprise and Core Competence.'

Early Years overview of outcomes

A two year trend demonstrates above National GLD outcomes, a robust focus on disadvantaged pupils ensures a narrow PP and Non PP gap. Where pupils do not achieve GLD, the pupil needs are fully understood and pupils are supported to make good progress in Key Stage One. Progress, from the reception baseline demsonstrates exemplary progress in many areas.

Early Years Summary and Links to the School Development Plan (SDP)

Children make good progress and a significant percentage make rapid progress from their starting points. Outcomes are at least good with many examples of exemplary outcomes.

When children arrive at Chestnut Park, the overall Literacy and Language baseline is particularly low. A whole school focus is therefore placed on language development through:

  • Whole school language focus within Read write Inc, Talk for Writing and Maths Meetings.
  • An ELKLAN trained teaching assistant runs language groups every day.
  • A speech and language therapist works at the school one day a fortnight.
  • An EAL Lead supports language development for our EAL children.
  • An experienced based curriculum is developed focused on our core drivers of Diversity, Enterprise and Core Competence.
  • the HIVE SEN base supports children in the Early Years with the most complex language needs.
  • Three Middle Leaders are completing their leadership training (NPQSL)  focusing on language development in the Early Years, reading with understanding in Key stage One and hooks into learning (experience based learning) across the school.

Year 2 Final Outcomes 2017-2018

LA moderation identifies accurate and precise judgements at Chestnut Park, with teachers demonstrating secure subject knowledge and a wealth of evidence.

Outcomes for year 2 are strong given the mobility factor. Therefore a strength of the school is our ability to support many children to catch up once they have joined the school. The outcomes below show Chestnut Park have either been in line with or exceeded national data.
