"A True Gem of a School"

We absolutely love Forest Academy! Our child has thrived in this nurturing and inclusive environment, with the kindness and respect values truly embodied by the staff and pupils. The outdoor spaces are amazing and the Gymnastics Club is a highlight for our child.

"Mixed Feelings"

While we have been pleased with some aspects of Forest Academy, such as the inclusive culture and commitment to values, we have experienced some difficulties with communication and organisation. Our child has enjoyed their time at the school, but we would like to see some improvements in these areas.

"Outstanding Education and Community"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that Forest Academy provided our child with an exceptional education and a sense of belonging. The RE:SET program, in particular, had a profound impact on our child's understanding of healthy relationships and emotional well-being.
