Forest Academy is a school where learning is joyful, memories are made, and children are prepared for life.
Mission
To be able to walk into any classroom, at any time, and see and hear all children enjoying their learning, making good progress and attaining well, with adults and children on a continuous journey to improve teaching and learning. We will ensure every child can thrive, no matter what their background.
Ethos/Values/Attitudes
The ethos of our school reflects the values and attitudes that characterise any caring family and community. The atmosphere of the school, the quality of relationships, and the way in which the school helps to prepare our children, combine to ensure they have a fair sense of justice and the skills and attitudes to be valued citizens of the future.
At Forest Academy, we aim for our children to grow and develop in an environment where they are cared for, listened to and respected as well as being given consistent, secure and firm boundaries.
Aims
To ensure our mission is a reality, the school has 4 clear learning values linked to our school motto ‘Learning for Life’.
These values inform how we teach, how we build relationships and how we support pupils to belong and participate.
We encourage all pupils to:
-
L – Listen and Learn: ‘I am ready to learn.’
-
I – Show Independence and Initiative: ‘I think for myself’.
-
F – Face the Challenge: ‘I keep going.’
-
E – Explore and Engage: ‘I am curious and enjoy learning’
Our Golden Rules ‘Be KInd, Be Safe, Be Responsible’ underpin the way we interact with one another and ensure everyone can be safe, confident, successful and happy in our school community.
