Forest Academy
Forest Academy, a 2 form entry primary school serving the small town of Brandon, Suffolk, is more than just a school; it's a place where we nurture a love for learning, instil strong values, and provide a safe, supportive environment for all our children. Learning for life underpins all that we do and we strive to provide the best possible education and care for each child who walks through our doors.
Our Ethos, Values, and Attitudes
At the heart of our school is a sense of community, where everyone is cared for, listened to, and respected. We aim to cultivate a fair sense of justice and equip our children with the skills and attitudes they need to become valued citizens of the future. We believe that by fostering a positive atmosphere and building strong relationships, we can create an environment where children thrive both academically and personally.
