Job overview
This post may also include the role as Head of Preparatory School English if of interest to suitable candidates.
Forest School is an independent day school of 1300+ pupils on the edge of Epping Forest in north-east London. The School consists of a Preparatory School (272 boys and girls aged 4 - 11), a Girls' School (500+ girls aged 11 - 18) and a Boys' School (500+ boys aged 11 - 18) all on the same site. It is in membership of both HMC and IAPS.
Class sizes are small and boys and girls are taught separately from Year 3 onwards. Pupils are taught in single-sex classes between the ages of 7 and 16 and in co-educational classes both in the Pre-Prep and the Sixth Form. This 'diamond structure' is a striking feature of the School.
Forest is very proud of its academic status, its reputation in a range of co-curricular activities and of its track record of looking after boys and girls well. All teaching staff are encouraged and expected to contribute in accordance with their strengths to the extra-curricular programme and other areas of School life.
Forest School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About Forest School
Forest is an outstanding all-round School, well known for its friendly, welcoming ethos, and full of 1450 bright sparky pupils aged 4-18. We are lucky to be located in this part of North East London, allowing us to attract pupils from a diverse range of social and ethnic backgrounds who share in being academically ambitious, but are grounded, engaging and very loyal to the School. Described by the Good Schools Guide as a ‘powerhouse with a heart’ and enjoying a reputation for strong expert teaching and learning, Forest pupils are encouraged to find success on all fronts through the breadth of the opportunities on offer to them.
We aim to develop the whole pupil through our distinct educational provision which gives equal weight to academic, co-curricular and pastoral strands of school life. To this end, Forest promotes all-round educational excellence, recognising that advancement to higher education or the world of work requires top academic grades but keen to develop a sense of service in the pupils and an awareness of their responsibilities to other people, as well as themselves. Forest is recognised as a school that is always evolving, self-evaluating and planning strategically for its future, while valuing its heritage and its location, all of which makes our community a stimulating one to work in for our 150+ teachers and 100+ non-teaching staff.
