We aim to develop the whole pupil through our distinct educational provision which gives equal weight to academic, co-curricular and pastoral strands of school life. To this end, Forest promotes all-round educational excellence, recognising that advancement to higher education or the world of work requires top academic grades but keen to develop a sense of service in the pupils and an awareness of their responsibilities to other people, as well as themselves. Forest is recognised as a school that is always evolving, self-evaluating and planning strategically for its future, while valuing its heritage and its location, all of which makes our community a stimulating one to work in for our 150+ teachers and 100+ non-teaching staff.
