History
Forest was initially founded as 'The Forest Proprietary School' in 1834 with only twenty-two pupils on its roll. In 1847, it became 'Forest School'. Forest has expanded and now has about twelve hundred and forty boys and girls in equal numbers across the full age range of 4 - 18. Girls were first accepted in 1981 and, although they share the same campus, boys and girls are taught separately between the ages of 7 and 16; the sixth form is co-educational. The school is the only school to have appeared in the FA Cup, and many of the buildings have been opened by members of the Royal Family.
