About The Forest School
The Forest School is a happy and safe environment in which students can learn, grow and develop into confident and successful global citizens. Our students benefit from learning in an enriching environment where there are no stereotypes. It's the aspirational drive to be the best we can be – both students and staff; it's the opportunities to challenge ourselves – in our learning, our understanding of our world, in our thinking and our actions.

"Exceptional School Experience"
My child has been at The Forest School for three years now and we're thoroughly impressed with the education and values they've received. The school's emphasis on mental health and wellbeing has made a huge difference to our child's confidence and happiness. The facilities are fantastic and the staff are always approachable and supportive.

"Good but Room for Improvement"
While we've had a generally positive experience at The Forest School, we've noticed that the school's handling of transitions can be a bit disjointed at times. However, the extracurricular activities and facilities are first-rate and our child has thrived in their favourite subjects. With a bit more attention to transitions, we'd be even more happy with the school.

"A School Ahead of the Curve"
As a former parent, I can confidently say that The Forest School exceeded our expectations in every way. Their commitment to personalising learning and creativity is truly innovative and has given our child a love of learning that will serve them well throughout their life. We're so grateful to have been a part of the Forest Family!
