Lift Lea Forest is a leading school in Birmingham with an enriched, relevant, engaging and innovative curriculum enabling children to uncover a world of possibilities - inspiring each and every child to reach true academic brilliance. By embracing the role that Lea Forest plays within the wider community fostering positive partnerships with parents in and beyond the walls of the school - into the streets, into the town and far beyond - the school ensures children can live remarkable lives.

Lift Lea Forest is part of the family of schools in Lift Schools and as such we share the Trust vision for our children:

To provide our pupils with a wide body of knowledge and skills and an exceptional character to live a remarkable life.

It is our aim that by the time the children leave Lift Lea Forest to embark on the next stage of their education, they are equipped with the academic skills and knowledge, and have developed the personal attributes needed to enable them to become successful citizens of the future.

The staff at Lift Lea Forest are our greatest resource and we will nurture and develop you throughout your career. Being part of Lift Schools means every employee at every level is able to access tailored CPD and opportunities to work across the group as they progress. Please read our staff profiles for more information on how this is happening right now for members of my team.

Thank you for your interest in our school; we can't wait to meet you!
