Forest Lodge Academy is a thriving school in a happy friendly community where children enjoy all aspects of school life and staff feel valued and supported. We have a passionate, hardworking team who are committed to providing the highest standards of education for all of our learners.

Forest Lodge Academy had an Ofsted inspection in June 2022 where we were graded as Good.
