Pupil Leaders
As part of our learning culture at Forest, we believe that all children should have a say in how our school is run and how our curriculum is designed. We believe that this prepares them for later life and sets them up with life skills that are important. This is done through a range of different pupil leader groups:
School Council
The school council is an integral part of our decision-making process at Forest. Every year, two new councillors from each class are voted for by their peers and invited to share a regular school questions and updates with their class. These discussions are linked with decisions to be made in the school, for example, 'What after school clubs would you like to have?' Ideas from each class are then fed back in school council meetings and used to inform decisions made by staff.
We value the opinions of the children at our school and believe that having an active school council enables us to work together as a community to provide the very best experiences for all at Forest.

Each week a different core school value is chosen as a focus by the value ambassadors.
