Rick Hyde
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.

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.
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.
