Nurturing is a Big Part of Life at Forest

High quality education and developing the character of our Foresters goes hand in hand at Forest.

Throughout this year our pupils have embraced our growing Character Education programme by:
💚 Supporting local Food Banks through our Harvest collection
🏡 Spending time with residents at Newhaven Care Home
🌍 Organising regular community litter picks
🌸 Helping with gardening projects at Pickering Lodge Park

These experiences teach empathy, responsibility, service and respect, qualities that cannot be measured in a test but are essential for life.

Next year our Character Education programme will grow even further because we believe education is about much more than preparing children for exams. Our aim is to develop confident young people who show kindness, care for others, respect the environment and make a positive difference wherever they go.

We're incredibly proud of the character our Foresters show every day.

#ThrowbackThursday ‘Celebrating Our Writers of the Week’

#ThrowbackThursday. We celebrate our incredible young authors at Forest during our ‘Writers of the Week’ assemblies in which a child from each year group from Reception - Year 6 is celebrated.

Looking back over this year, we have been amazed by the variety and quality of writing across the school:

🌱 Reception have been developing their early writing skills through imaginative stories, exploring characters, creating sentences and sharing their ideas with growing confidence.

📝 Year 1 and Year 2 have brought stories to life through creative descriptions, adventure writing and developing their ability to organise their ideas clearly.

📖 Year 3 have written imaginative narratives, including their wonderful Easter stories created for their younger buddies, carefully adapting their language for a younger audience.

✍️ Year 4 have developed their writing through exciting challenges, crafting stories, improving their vocabulary and creating engaging pieces for different purposes.

📚 Year 5 became authors and illustrators as part of our Buddy Scheme, creating their own storybooks for younger pupils. They had to think carefully about storytelling, vocabulary and how their words would inspire their readers.

🌟 Year 6 have continued to impress us with mature, thoughtful writing, developing their own voice and producing pieces that showcase their creativity and confidence.

Our Writer of the Week assemblies remind us that every child has a story to tell. They celebrate not just the finished piece of writing, but the imagination, perseverance and care that goes into creating it.

We can't wait to see the wonderful writing pieces our Foresters produce next year! ... See MoreSee Less
