SGS Forest High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Cinderford in the English county of Gloucestershire. [1]

The school was established as Double View Secondary Modern School on Woodville Road in Cinderford, but expanded to the current site on Causeway Road in the early-mid-1970s. The school continued to operate over both sites until 1979 when the Woodville Road site closed. Double View was renamed Heywood School in the mid-1980s, and later Heywood Community School in the early 1990s.

Heywood Community School became a foundation school in the 2000s, and was administered by Gloucestershire County Council until September 2012 when the school converted to academy status. The school was renamed Forest E-ACT Academy, and was sponsored by E-ACT. However in 2014 the E-Act announced that they would be withdrawing as sponsor, and that the school would join the Redhill Academy Trust and be renamed Forest Academy. [2] However, in 2015 the new academy sponsor was named as the SGS Schools Trust, and the school was renamed SGS Forest High School. [3] [4]

SGS Forest High School was placed into special measures by Ofsted in 2022. [5] In 2024, it was re-inspected and judged to require improvement. [6]

As of September 2024, Nicola Mooney is the headteacher, following the appointment of Alan Dane as chief executive officer of SGS Academy Trust.
