We've already seen so much brilliant work in action here at Forest, with our Year 11s jumping straight back in & more of our Forest Family embracing their lessons. It's been absolutely brilliant to see our new Year 7s already getting so stuck in!⭐️🏫— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) Sep 5, 2025

Over 700 breakfasts were served, and it was fantastic to see all of our new Year 7s looking so incredibly smart in their uniforms, ready and excited for their first official day here at Forest.🍳🏫😄— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) Sep 4, 2025
