Forest E17 - Sporty for girls?

[magicbeanie]

Hi - my daughter has an offer from Forest - she's a sporty type which is why we applied. When I checked the co-curricular booklet on the website (it's quite old 2018-19) it looks like there's a lot more sports offered for boys vs girls (e.g. 30mins lunchtime training for girls vs 2hrs post school for boys).

Also, there don't seem to be weekend competitive fixtures for girls, just boys plus the fixtures during the week (for girls) are quite thin vs other schools we have offers from. I have noticed it does seem to improve as it goes up the school for older girls.

Just wondering if any current parents can talk about what the experience is like there for sporty girls?

I'll ask a friend and come back as her DD attends and a parent at my DS school teaches there.
My DH went and said the offering is good but his view is out of date.

Thank you so much @TheRealKatnissEverdeen!! Very grateful!!🙏

My friend's response;
"Very good.
DD is a sports scholar. They do so many things.
Football
Netball
Hockey
Dance
Gymnastics
Parkour
Swimming, water polo
Volleyball
Athletics
Cricket
Horseriding and the list goes on....
Teams for all of these and lots of fixtures if you are selected for teams. The teams go down to D teams as well

Really extensive sports program for girls if they are interested . I can't keep up! The teams are quite elite to as they have specialist coaches"

Hope this helps OP.
