Year 7
My name is Ella and I just started at Forest. My favourite subjects are PE and DT, because I like the fact that they are practical and hands-on. Being part of the Forest Family is great because they have brilliant options for clubs. The sports I do outside of school are Karate (I am a Black Belt) and Gymnastics; for one Gymnastics competition I competed for West Sussex.

I have been at Forest for over a year now and I really feel like I am part of the Family. My favourite subjects are PE, because I love anything sporty, and Science, because I like to have an understanding of the world. Joining the football team gave me the opportunity to settle into the Forest Family and to make lots of friends.

When I first joined in Year 7, I never imagined that I would be the main role in a school production, so I was thrilled to be given the part of Billy in ‘Billy Elliot.’ It made me more confident and I made a lot of friends. The Art Department is my favourite part of the school because I have always enjoyed the subject and being creative.

When I first arrived at Forest, I was one of only 26 girls, but I still felt like part of the Forest Family. Mr Straw and the teachers make everyone feel included, and I enjoy welcoming primary school pupils to tours and events, as well as visiting them at their schools. I often participate in Student Panels and I like the fact my opinions are taken into account.

My time at Forest has been full of adventures and experiences, and I’ve enjoyed getting involved in Performing Arts every year; the highlights being Billy Elliot and I am looking forward to the upcoming musical Grease. Through activities at Forest, I have developed skills such as teamwork, which I can take forward into the next chapter of my life.
