Alison Lovland has been appointed the new chair, after being a governor for six years, and vice chair for the last year.
Ms Austin said: “I very much look forward to working with Alison to continue the great work and foundations that Anna has left us with and driving forward our continued focus on excellence to increase our Forest family, extra-curricular activities, continued site refurbishment and ultimately to attain Outstanding [Ofsted rating]. The Forest is the place to be right now – it is unstoppable.”
