About

Forest Park Preparatory School provides an excellent educational start for your child. It is a unique school underpinned by core values that support the development of every child. We create an environment that inspires all our pupils and gives them the confidence and enthusiasm to achieve and succeed.

Situated within a private and secluded site in the leafy suburb of Sale, Greater Manchester, our pupils benefit from feeling that their school is a home-from-home. Our broad and balanced curriculum includes a full programme of activities in sport, computing, languages, music and drama.

Our commitment to excellence in teaching encourages children to have high expectations of themselves, striving to reach their potential. Forest Park Preparatory School is located near to many exceptional grammar schools. We are dedicated to ensuring our children succeed with their 11+ examinations, without undue pressure.

Last year, every Year 6 child achieved success and left our school as well motivated, confident individuals (89% continued education within the grammar school setting).

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
