It is with immense sadness that I share some difficult news: over the summer, our beloved Forest School and outdoor classroom were tragically destroyed by a fire caused by vandals.

This isn't just a physical space; it was a vital hub where learners from Year 7 to Year 11 developed essential life skills, built resilience, and found a safe haven. Seeing years of hard work reduced to ashes has been heart-breaking for our staff and, especially, our young people.

The Phoenix Project: Turning Tragedy into Triumph
We are absolutely determined to turn this devastating loss into a powerful new beginning, which we are proudly naming The Phoenix Project. Our goal isn't just to replace what was lost, but to make our new Forest School bigger and better - a symbol of community spirit rising from the ashes.

As Helen Keller once wisely said: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." We are reaching out to our amazing parents, carers, and the wider community to help us achieve this vision.
