✨ It’s always a pleasure to see the impact of opportunities like the Boundless Festival reflected in our schools…

This example from The Vale Primary School & Nursery captures it beautifully - pupils building confidence, expressing creativity and being recognised beyond the classroom across art, performance and eco projects.

At the GLF Schools' Foundation, we are proud to support experiences that enable young people to connect, grow and share their talents across our schools. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of what those opportunities can unlock.

We know there are many more stories like this across our schools - and it’s always inspiring to see them being celebrated.

This is more than a Golf Day - it’s our chance to open doors and create opportunities for those who need them most.

GLF Schools’ Foundation Golf Day

📅 Thursday 4 June
📍 Cuddington Golf Club

We’re delighted to be hosting the GLF Schools' Foundation Golf Day - a special day of golf, connection and fundraising in support of children and families across GLF schools.

The GLF Schools’ Foundation exists to make sure that a young person’s background or circumstances never limit their opportunities. Through the Foundation, we help remove barriers to learning and enrichment, supporting students to access experiences, resources and chances that can be genuinely life‑changing.

This annual Golf Day is about so much more than sport. It’s about bringing people together around a shared belief in fairness, possibility and the power of education to change futures. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, funds raised through events like this go directly towards supporting students who need it most - making a real difference, right now.

With places closing soon, this is a final opportunity to be part of a day that combines community, purpose and impact, all set in the beautiful surroundings of Cuddington Golf Club.

A fantastic basketball tournament last week hosted by Glyn School as part of the Boundless Festival 🏀

The standard of play was excellent throughout, with great team spirit and plenty of good fun on display. Congratulations to Meridian High School on winning the KS3 final.
