Be it academically, or socially, our aim is to enable our students to grow and flourish and achieve their potential, enabling them to have positive pathways into adulthood.

We encourage a lifelong love of learning and celebrate success, no matter how small. We are also incredibly proud of the opportunities and support that our talented, dedicated and expert staff provide for our young people; there truly is something on offer for everyone to enjoy and succeed at here at Forest Park School.
Despite the many barriers our students face, we have high expectations of them all; we expect them to behave in a compassionate and respectful manner, and to actively engage in their learning throughout the whole school day.
Our core values of Trust, Resilience, engagement, enjoyment and success are evident throughout all that we do here. In this way all the school community works together to create a calm, supportive and ordered environment where every individual student can thrive. We aim to develop our students’ awareness of the wider community, to engage with the world outside of the school walls, and to develop as global citizens.
We also understand, more now than ever, the importance of emotional health and wellbeing and work with our students to give them the tools to build their own mental and physical health and wellbeing.
Our therapeutically informed approached to teaching and learning ensure that our students are able to access their learning and achieve success every day.
