Forest Green Rovers

We are fortunate to be located right next to Forest Green Rovers Football Club. The FGR Academy are frequent visitors at school, encouraging and inspiring our children in the class room and on the football pitch. Each year, we nominate one or two of our pupils to become FGR Ambassadors for a season, affording the opportunity to be involved at matches selling programmes, being a ball boy/girl and even parading on with the players at the start of big games. We often visit the stadium with class groups to learn more about the club, their ecological ethos or to take part in vegan cookery sessions!
