The History of The Forest Family
Following All Saints' Primary and Needwood Primary joining together as a hard Federation pupils, staff, parents and Governors worked together to identify and agree a set of core principals under The Forest Federation (now the Forest Family) slogan ‘Hand in hand we love, learn and achieve’. From this we designed a statement that encompasses our vision:
‘Our Federation inspires confident, enthusiastic, high achieving, lifelong learners within a loving Christian community.’
The ‘Fruits of the Spirit’ from Galatians 5:22 are rooted in the Christian values that we expect from all members of our community.
We were absolutely delighted to join the John Taylor Multi-Academy Trust in 2018.
