What the school offers its staff
The Forest School is a successful and friendly 11-16 School, committed to achieving high standards and to developing the potential of all our students and staff. It is an exciting time in the history of the school as from September ‘21 the school had its first co-educational intake and now 40% of our year 7 students are girls. We have been significantly oversubscribed for September ’24. There is huge investment being put into the school with redevelopment throughout, including a new all-weather pitch and new performing arts building. We are seeking to appoint an exceptional teacher of Religion & Worldviews to join our highly successful Humanities team. You will be joining an enthusiastic team who are always looking for ways to innovate and excite students about this increasingly relevant albeit underestimated addition to students education.
