Welcome

 

Welcome to the Forest website. Our intention is to provide both current and prospective parents with information regarding the many aspects of school life and the opportunities we can offer every individual child.

                                      

At Forest we believe that we have found a perfect balance in pursuing academic excellence whilst at the same time maintaining strong pastoral care standards. 

We strongly believe that if a child is happy they will learn and if they have a sound and efficient framework within which to work they will thrive. 

Every child is made to feel important and valued by all concerned and through this atmosphere of collaboration, success is achieved. 

As one parent recently wrote “We were looking for a well balanced school where boys and girls would be encouraged to work hard and play hard. We found this at a vibrant little place called Forest.”

Rick Hyde
Headmaster

“Children are well prepared for the next stage of their education and we have an outstanding record in entrance examinations to independent and state grammar schools. There is an expectation that each child will reach their own academic potential."


Nick Tucker
Deputy Head

“We aim to give our youngest children the best possible start to school life, so that they feel happy, safe and secure, whilst learning in a rich, varied and challenging environment.”

Heather Wardle 
Head of Early Years

 

“The school has high expectations, which the children match with their very strong work ethic. Our small classes enable us to have a broad and challenging curriculum.”

Jan Price
Director of Studies

Head Girl and Head Boy

Welcome to Forest Prep School where everyone is friendly and well educated. We provide a wide range of sports such as football, netball, cricket, athletics and cross country in school and after school we have tennis, athletics and golf. At Forest, we go on a lots of school trips every year. The list just goes on and on, but one of the biggest school trips is when we go to either France or Shropshire. All this makes Forest Prep School such a fantastic and friendly school to be a part of. We are very proud to be part of the family here and be Forest’s Head Boy and Head Girl.

The School Council

As part of the Student Council we have lots of aims and responsibilities:

one of these aims is to try and make our school a better place and be part of the decision making processes in school.

At the start of every year, every class from Years 1 - 6 elects two people to represent our classes in the Student Council.

The Student Council covers areas such as:

This term we will be looking at how we can effectively promote recycling at Forest. We will also be looking at how the new playground toys are being used at playtimes. We'll then report back to our classes about what plants we want to grow in our gardens this summer.
