Forest School knows its pupils and knows itself. It puts the individual child at the center of all it does and promotes a clear set of values, which underpin the Forest culture. This is a humane, open-minded school with both feet on the ground, in which the pupils’ all-around personal development is outstanding and academic attainment is high. It is, above all, a happy school that understands the rich inter-relationship between the curricular, the co-curricular, and the pastoral.
We benefit from a tremendous location: on the very edge of north-east London, a city school surrounded by ancient forest, safe but not secluded, and within a diverse, dynamic community. There is boldness in the School’s character, a readiness to be forward-thinking and adaptable, with pride in what we are and excitement for what lies ahead. Seeing the School for yourself and meeting our pupils and staff is the best way to learn more about us and our culture.
At Forest School, we value:
- Excellence
- The thriving development of young people
- A culture of friendship
- Our location, our communities, and our heritage
- Our diamond structure: the best of both worlds
Our aims derive from these values:
- For every pupil to achieve the very best of which they are capable
- For every pupil to develop into the fullest and best version of themselves
- For every pupil to contribute to the success and happiness of the School community
- For every pupil to acknowledge with pride the School’s place in the community and history
- For every pupil to benefit from the opportunities of single-sex teaching and pastoral care within a co-educational environment.
Boys and girls flourish in our environment. Our approach to a child’s educational experience is markedly different in many ways from other schools. We are a vital component of an all-through school which teaches pupils up to the age of 18.
