A Welcome from The Forest School Academy Trust
Established in 1957, The Forest is a “Good” (OFSTED July 2021) comprehensive school. Currently we are a single sex boy’s secondary school that will be offering co-educational study from September 2024 with a seven form entry in the main school and an existing co-educational sixth form making a total current roll of 793. Our Sixth Form has been co-educational since 2009.
The Forest School is situated in Wokingham, Berkshire.
As The Forest School's Headteacher, I work with staff, students and parents to foster and sustain positive outcomes for all. My ambition is to ensure The Forest School provides an exceptional inclusive education for every student. Students are encouraged to get involved with extra-curricular activities to extend their learning beyond the classroom and gain new hobbies and interests, ranging from sports clubs to choir practice. Our success is based on the strong sense of community as we celebrate 60 years as a community school, with high expectations and mutual respect for all. We develop the whole person and ensure that every student is fully equipped for life through our core values: Aspiring, Safe, Prepared, Independent, Respectful, Excellent.
These values are for all stakeholders as we recognise the importance of parents and the inclusive community in the education of the next generation. We have a strong academic, sport and creative success, and this is delivered through the high level of curriculum and pastoral support for every student.
