Forest Preparatory School

There’s still time to register for our Open Morning on Saturday 7th March, we would love to welcome you to our homely Prep School.
We are delighted to share that in our very recent ISI Inspection, Forest was awarded ‘All Standards Met’ across all five areas. Inspectors recognised exactly what our families already know, that what makes Forest such a special place to learn and grow truly shines through in every aspect of school life.
If your child’s current school doesn’t feel like the right fit, or you are looking ahead to find the perfect start for your pre-schooler, this is a wonderful opportunity to discover what makes Forest so special.
We currently have places available in:
• Current Reception
• Current Year 2
• Nursery 2027 (for children born between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025)
