Forestwood School

Forestwood School Science and Art room

Forestwood School is the specialist provider of education for all young people admitted to Cygnet Bury Forestwood. Learning happens in a dedicated school unit which includes an ICT suite, library and quiet room. Teaching is provided by a team of subject specialists and experienced classroom support assistants.

We are unable to accept requests for school places from individuals or local authorities; each school place is linked to a bed on our CAMHS wards. School is a mobile free zone.

Our Vision

To provide a safe, enjoyable and purposeful educational experience for all our young people during their stay. The care and support we offer means that young people are helped to celebrate their differences and achieve their goals, enabling them to be successful in the future and prepared for their next steps.

We work in partnership with all stakeholders to ensure the education provided mirrors the community provision. We strive to always embrace the Cygnet values.
