We moved into a brand new school building (September 2015) which was built as part of the Priority Schools Building Project. This was an extremely exciting time for all those involved with the school and community. Now the school has been established we have added capacity and are now a large 3 form entry primary school.
The school is on a large site that provides plenty of space both inside and outside the building. We have a library, a kitchen for curriculum use as well as one for school meals and a practical learning room for Art and Design Technology lessons.
Our large hall and small halls are suitable for many activities having adaptable staging, and PE equipment. Our three playgrounds, football and cricket pitch give plenty of space for physical activity where children can play and exercise. We also have a school peace garden where children can reflect, read as well as plant and grow fruit and vegetables which will be used as part of the schools food curriculum.
Forest Lodge Academy will aid all to have an exciting future, socially, emotionally and academically. We look forward to working in partnership with you.

Well done everyone well done my roman
Our girls football team recently participated in the Premier League Stars U11 National Finals at Molineux Stadium! Representing Leicester City, the girls competed against winning schools from across the country, each representing different football clubs.
While the results may not have gone the way they hoped, the team delivered some fantastic performances against incredibly strong opposition. The girls should be so proud of themselves, and we certainly are!
It’s been an amazing year for this talented group, who have shown outstanding attitude, skill, and resilience every step of the way. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved. well done, girls! 👏⚽️

Over the last few weeks, Reception children have enjoyed taking part in lots of exciting activities in and outside the classroom. They took part in a Minibeast workshop where they got to learn about and hold different creatures. To make most of the great weather they have also continued enjoying Forest Fun sessions, as well as taking part in our school's Colour Dash run before half term.
