The Forest School GCSE Results 2022

The Forest School celebrated with its students, staff and parents on the excellent examination series this year. The Forest School is more than just a school; generations of families have been, and continue to be part, of The Forest School as they are celebrating their 2022 GCSE results. This year we had already celebrated sporting firsts - this group of boys brought home the National Elite Cup, we reintroduced events including the Shakespeare festival, published writers visits, and too many successes to note here.

Shirley Austin, Headteacher said: ”We are delighted that the 2021-22 cohort of year 11 boys have continued and broken ALL previous records. Their results are the best ever, beating the last two years grades as well. It consolidates the accurate and fair grading over the past two years by Forest Staff. We are incredibly proud of the boys who have been such a fantastic year group. The year group has continually impressed staff with their resilience and perseverance throughout the past five years and especially during the examination series. They simply live and breathe the ASPIRE motto through which, our students will continue to contribute to the local and wider community expanding the knowledge and skills developed at The Forest. We are delighted to be able to offer the boys the opportunity to continue to exceed their expectations by joining our prestigious co-educational 6th Form where we have more than 30 A level and Vocational courses on offer, in addition to the many girls joining us this year to complete their journey of academic and personal development. We are very proud of our students as they always strive to achieve their best. It has been inspirational to watch our Year 11 students flourish, develop their self-confidence, self-belief, and motivation. These exceptional achievements were also supported by the inspirational teaching, hard work and dedication shown by all of The Forest teaching community.”

The Forest Sixth Form Results 2022

The Forest School students and staff celebrated a fantastic set of results for this year's A Level students.  The hard work and motivation of our staff and students ensure that the outcomes are a real credit to them and we wish them every success as they prepare for the next chapter in their lives.  We are proud of all involved who ensured that learning continued throughout, and in spite of the challenges of Covid.  This is the first formal examination series for these students since SATs in primary school and they have show the resilience that only The Forest brings.

23% A*-A is a significant achievement this year, and more than double that was achieved in 2019.  This is set against a drop in grades at the top end in schools nationally this year.  The school has performed very well traditionally in academic subjects such as Maths, French, Economics and Geography and has also performed strongly in Art, Business (vocational and A Level), Computer Science Travel and Tourism and Law.

Headteacher, Shirley Austin commented that she is personally delighted that "all our students are leaving with A Levels and to have a high proportion with A*-C grades is a real achievement for them.  They have been highly successful in both academic and vocational courses.  Moving our A*-A is astonishing and highlights the teacher's work.  Students from The Forest will be leaving here to take up places at universities such as Oxford, London School of Economics, Bristol, Cardiff, Royal Holloway, Sheffield and Sussex to study a diverse range of subjects including maths, astrophysics, economics, pharmacy, neuroscience, film and engineering.  Others have gained employment at sought after apprenticeship schemes following the outstanding guidance from all staff but particularly Mr Jackman who, as Head of Sixth Form, also offers fantastic independent and individualised careers guidance to every student.  We all ASPIRE to support students in achieving what they want in life and we are dedicated to this motto across the school and our co-educational Sixth Form is clearly a fundamental and successful part of the school".

Here are a few of our headline figures:

• Art 100% A*
• French 100% A*
• Computer Science 100% A*-B
• Economics 100% A*-C
• Business 100% A*-C

• Those students achieving 3 A*-A = 23%
• Those students achieving 3 A*-B = 53%
• Those students achieving 3 A*-E = 94%

Congratulations to Maya Sanghani who achieved outstanding results and has achieved the top spot with 3 A* grades and to the following students with for their outstanding results:
