Forrester High School

Inclusive, Achieving, Respectful, Successful!

Welcome to Forrester High School’s website. We hope you find the site informative and a useful tool for keeping in touch with happenings in the school.

The site is your guide to our school and to our vision for our school community…..

Forrester High School will strive to ensure that all young people have access to tailored learning pathways that meet the needs of all our learners. We will work closely to ensure our learners know how to progress their learning. This will enable them to gain the skills, experiences and qualifications they need to achieve a successful, positive and sustained destination on leaving school.

Message from Headteacher

Forrester High School will close for the summer holiday at 12noon on Friday 30th June.

This has been an exciting first term for me and a great year for our students with many outstanding achievements both in and out of school. Students and their families can be proud of the their work.

Unfortunately, the year ended in great sadness with the passing of Anna Burnett, our fantastic Art teacher. I am grateful for the way that staff, students and parents pulled together to support each other through this difficult time. Anna’s great spirit and positive approach to everything she did will remain as an example to us all.

Finally, I wish everyone an enjoyable and restful holiday and look forward to seeing students back on Wednesday 16th August.
