Forest Academy is a flagship Inclusion Quality Mark school and participates in Croydon Locality SEND Support; as part of a local cluster of schools—from nursery through to Year 11—we work collaboratively to access advice, resources, and specialist input that allow us to respond quickly and effectively when a child begins to show additional needs that cannot be met through our school’s existing SEND provision.
