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.

Twilights

During the 2025 - 26 academic year Durrington Research School will be offering nine online professional development twilight programmes. The topics have been chosen based on what teachers and school leaders have requested most often when engaging with us over the past few years. Other than secondary science and secondary reading, each of the programmes are designed to be cross-phase and suitable for teachers of all age groups.

The twilight programmes are open to all, each programme will run from 3:30pm-5pm, fitting into a 6–8week block of three 90-minute online sessions. For West Sussex schools we are offering a special promotion this year with a discounted cost of £150 per twilight (normal rate £200), plus a second twilight topic free of charge. A flyer of upcoming Twilights can be downloaded below, or found on the Durrington Research School website here. Bookings for any of the twilights can be made via this form.
