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 Chester University, the Police Force, NHS, Jewish Association, Manchester City FC, The Toy Appeal (Knutsford), 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 Sports 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 Manchester Arena on a bi-annual basis and we take part in a Christmas Carol Service held in Manchester Cathedral and a Bellevue Music Festival is hed every other spring at the Royal Norhtern College of Music. A highlight of the year is the Upper School Summer Show that takes place annually at The Little Theatre in Altrincham.
