The children, staff and governors of Far Forest Lea Memorial CE Primary Academy welcome you to our happy school. We are a Church of England School that believes in providing a richness of opportunities, where every child’s talents can be nurtured and celebrated.

Our School Vision

Our Far Forest family welcomes everybody as a unique child known to God. We nurture and provide opportunities for our pupils to grow into caring, compassionate and confident individuals, supporting all on their journey.

Our school vision supports our core values of; 'Nurture, Care, Forgive' .

Nurture We value all children as individuals, regardless of their backgrounds, helping them to flourish and fulfill their unique God-given potential. All children are loved and valued for who they are.

Care is shown through our inspiring curriculum design, encouraging all children to care about others and themselves. We seek to educate the whole child, not only pursuing academic excellence but to support children to become well-rounded individuals. 

Forgiveness is modelled and taught through our curriculum and day to day lives. We encourage children to show empathy and compassion, just like Jesus showed us.
