Forest School - anyone with DC there with info to share?

Post by exam2019 »

Hi. We will be applying for 11+ entry in September 2022.
Any advice or information?
Particularly about interviews and pastoral care but any information gratefully received
Thanks!

Hi, the only experience I can offer I’m afraid is that my son sat the 11+ for Forest and didn’t get in (or even get an interview.) it was extremely competitive. Having said that, he didn’t have tuition and didn’t have much exam experience at all, he had been in a state primary. But I would say children do need to be very bright to get in. My friends daughter goes and they are very happy with the school. It has a reputation for being very good and my impression is that it’s a bit more forward thinking than some of the other local private schools. It’s currently diamond structure but I’ve heard they are moving to fully co-Ed.

My DS had the initial interview last week. Has anyone heard back from Forest yet about whether they've made it to the next stage. It looks like they interview ALL applicants first.
