Community Links
Our Aims:
- To help our pupils prepare for the future as active citizens in the community
- To encourage children to value the local and wider community
- To encourage the children, parents, staff and other members of the community to work together
- To develop links with organisations within the local community to enhance the experiences we can offer our pupils
At Forest Preparatory School we value the importance of developing strong links between the school and the local and wider community. Within PSHE and Citizenship education, through assemblies, concerts, class visits and special events, we encourage the children to appreciate the roles and responsibilities of active citizens.
To achieve this we enlist the support of the local and wider community in supporting the curriculum and wide variety of extra-curricular activities on offer at Forest. These include liaising with many outside agencies including Edge Hill University, the Police Force, NHS, Muslim Association, Manchester City FC, Red House Farm, Manchester Airport and many more. Furthermore, Forest Preparatory School also prides itself on the charity fundraising work within the community that continues throughout the year.
Forest Preparatory School has close ties with Timperley Cricket Club, where our weekly games sessions are held, as well as many of the school's sporting tournaments. The school choir visits the Bridgewater Hall and MEN Arena on an annual basis and we take part in a Christmas Carol Service held in Manchester Cathedral. A highlight of the year is the Upper School Summer Show that takes place annually at The Club Theatre in Altrincham.
