  • Develop a passion for learning and acquire, skills, knowledge and understanding of themselves in the world.
  • Ensure that all children experience an enriched curriculum which develops their talents and unlocks their potential.
  • Develop individuals as highly motivated learners who seek to extend themselves in mind, body and spirit and know their uniqueness is cherished.
  • Encourage children to develop moral, social and spiritual values which demonstrate care, consideration, respect and tolerance towards others and the environment.
  • Inspire an inclusive belief in all, respecting everyone in spite of life experiences and physical differences.
  • Create a sense of belonging to a “family” community.

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, a Studio / Sensory room and a Practical Learning Room for Art and D/T 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.

At Forest Lodge we will ensure all children attending receive an education through exciting, enriched, creative experiences ensuring children are fully prepared for life in the 21st Century, where all are inspired to be aspirational – through collaborative, innovative, creative experiences in an environment which enthuses and challenges all to be the best that they can possibly be.

Forest Lodge Academy will aid all to have an exciting future, socially, emotionally and academically. We look forward to working in partnership with you.
