Former Pupil: Lincoln Herbert
It was a real privilege to welcome back former pupil Lincoln Herbert, who attended Forest Lodge Academy from 2009 to 2015, to deliver an inspiring assembly to our Year 4–6 pupils on Monday 27th April. Lincoln spoke passionately about his journey since leaving school, sharing how dedication and perseverance helped him become a professional performer and dancer. He gave pupils a fascinating insight into his current role performing on cruise ships, travelling the world and entertaining audiences across different countries. His presentation, supported by engaging slides, highlighted both the exciting opportunities and the hard work involved in following a career in the performing arts. The children were captivated by his story, and it was wonderful for them to see how a former Forest Lodge pupil has gone on to achieve such success on a global stage. Lincoln also went on to carry out a question-and-answer session with pupils from Year 5, who thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were eager to ask Lincoln questions about his educational journey and chosen career.
If you are a former pupil of Forest Lodge Academy and would like to inspire the next generation, we would love to hear from you. Sharing your journey, experiences, and the career path you have chosen can make a real difference to our pupils and help them see what is possible for their own futures. If you are interested in coming back to speak to our children, please click the link below—we look forward to welcoming you back! This will be for some time in the next academic year 2026/2027.

The outfits and effort were incredible – from Michael Jackson-inspired looks to brilliant homemade t-shirts, it was fantastic to see everyone joining in and celebrating maths in style.
Our TT Rockstars battle was a huge success, with all finalists doing amazingly well. A special shoutout to our overall champion, Karam from 4AW, who answered almost 80 times table questions in just one minute!
It’s been such a lovely day seeing the whole school buzzing with excitement, energy and a love of learning. We think this might need to become an annual event…

Year 3 Visit to Twycross Zoo
Year 3 took part in an enrichment trip to Twycross Zoo. We had an amazing day visiting all the different animals. We also took part in a workshop about animals learning about their natural habitats and the important conservation work Twycross Zoo carries out.

Huge well done to the 5/6 Netball team that took part in a tournament today. Miss Whitaker was so proud of the way that the children behaved throughout the day and was so impressed with how much the children’s skill improved over the course of the day. Overall, we came 8th in the Leicester West competition and 15th within Leicester overall, which is an amazing achievement considering we had never practiced as a team before! Well done guys, fantastic sportsmanship, teamwork and perseverance demonstrated by all. Well done.
We’ve had a rock-tastic day today across school celebrating Maths Rocks Day!
