The Forest School seems to be on the mend after receiving a damning Ofsted report last year. 

The Winnersh school was visited by the schools governing body in February and was given the rating of 'requires improvement'.

A monitoring visit on June 20 found a number of key improvements to the school, with 22 highlights in the report.

Having made some important changes, the school has now been given strong ratings on effectiveness of the leadership and management, quality of teaching, personal development and outcomes for children. 

The report stated: "The school’s own performance information indicates that pupils in Year 11 are on course to make better progress than in 2016.

"Rightly, leaders focused on improving the quality of teaching. Your passion is for lessons to show ‘fizz’ and excitement.

"Your monitoring shows that lessons show greater levels of engagement and pupils report that they are enjoying their learning more.

"During my visits to classrooms, the atmosphere was purposeful and pupils were appropriately engaged in a range of learning activities."

While the school's rating cannot be changed following a monotoring visit, the halftime report shows improvements have been made.
