The All-Weather Pitch was the perfect setting for the Horsham Small Schools Football Tournament. The eight teams of Year 5 pupils from local primary schools demonstrated superb skills and athletic integrity throughout. Congratulations to Warnham for being overall winners!⚽️🥇 pic.twitter.com/GNNFozGKyf— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) April 1, 2025

A group of Year 8 students visited the Gatwick STEM Centre yesterday, to participate in the Faraday Challenge. The teams worked brilliantly on meeting the brief and produced fantastic proto-types, which they presented to the other teams at the end of the day. 👨🔬 pic.twitter.com/BCANDxKH6s— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) March 27, 2025

Saturday saw our first Family Cookery Day of the year. The Year 5 pupils prepared a cooked breakfast and cupcakes, as well as doing their own washing up! The parents commented on what a lovely day it was, and how proud their child felt of their achievements.🍳🥓 pic.twitter.com/r1ghqQJCjt— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) March 25, 2025

We were excited to host a Dance Workshop for Year 6 pupils from St. Mary's. They worked on a sequence of moves based on the Olympic Games and, with the support of Miss Gardiner and some of our GCSE Dance Students, produced a brilliant piece, set to 'Eye of the Tiger.'💃🕺 pic.twitter.com/ICMCSAZS5h— The Forest School (@foresthorsham) March 19, 2025
