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 and a practical learning room for Art and Design Technology 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.
Forest Lodge Academy will aid all to have an exciting future, socially, emotionally and academically. We look forward to working in partnership with you.
