Share Page Welcome to Forest School. Our intention is to provide both current and prospective parents with information regarding the many aspects of school life and the opportunities we can offer every individual child.
At Forest Prep we believe that we have found a perfect balance in pursuing academic excellence whilst at the same time maintaining strong pastoral care standards. We strongly believe that if a child is happy they will learn and if they have a sound and efficient framework within which to work they will thrive.
Every child is made to feel important and valued by all concerned and through this atmosphere of collaboration, success is achieved. As one parent recently wrote We were looking for a well-balanced school where boys and girls would be encouraged to work hard and play hard. We found this at a vibrant little place called Forest.
Visit us on Saturday 7th March 2026 from 10:00 to 12:00 to find out about life at Forest Prep and experience our heart warming high achieving school.
