Forest School – History
Forest School was founded in 1834, by William Taylor Copeland, opening on the 1st October with 22 pupils. However, over the nineteenth century, the school grew and became one of the most successful nineteenth-century schools. From 1875-1879, Forest School played in the F.A Cup, becoming the first and only school to do so. The school continued to become successful throughout the 1900s, regularly expanding to accommodate more students and in the late 1970s, it opened admissions for girls in the school.
