Why choose Forest Prep School?

Proven track record in Academic success. Our latest Juniper results show that our Foresters have EXCELLED in Reading, Writing and Maths with attainment levels significantly higher than both the national benchmark and our high-performing local authority, Trafford.
Education extends far beyond the classroom, we have specialist teachers in Art, Music, Sport and French. We strive to nurture and stretch all talents in our ‘family’ orientated school.
Small class sizes with a Teaching Assistant in every class, making a ratio of 1:12, which ensures a personalised education for each child.
11+ preparation, which begins in Year 2.
Character Education is a big part of life at Forest, and we are passionate about producing moral citizens who are ready to make a positive difference in the world. At Forest there are many opportunities to develop a child’s character and these are woven into the curriculum such as our ‘Speech Competition’.
Outdoor learning plays a central role, particularly in our Early Years. Our comprehensive outdoor learning curriculum allows children to explore, investigate and learn through hands-on experiences in our outdoor classroom which provides a natural environment. This approach supports physical development, creativity, problem-solving and a lifelong love of learning.
Monthly payment scheme which makes a private education more accessible.
Education begins in our Nursery from the age of two. Research shows that the Early Years are a crucial period for learning and development, shaping attitudes and habits that last a lifetime. For this reason, we focus on nurturing a genuine love of learning in every Forester.
