SPORT

Sport is a very important aspect of the curriculum at The Forest School. Sport is an area where the pupils are able to excel. It builds their confidence, encourages team work and sharing and it gives the pupils the opportunity to try activities that they may continue to do in their leisure time outside school. Sport activities provided include swimming and diving, football, riding, orienteering, climbing, caving, abseiling, bowling, volleyball, badminton, netball, rounders, cricket, athletics, gymnastics and dance. We use the indoor and outdoor facilities at school, sports centres, community facilities and other schools.

Pupils also have the opportunity to experience outdoor and adventurous activities in the local countryside.

Residential visits are an important part of school life. In recent years pupils have been to France, Northumbria, Cumbria, Scarborough and the North Yorkshire Centres. The school has two minibuses which are used for off site activities and residential visits.
