• Time for a panto - oh yes it is!

  Mon 02 Dec 2024

  Forestdale had a visit from the pantomime last week and all the children enjoyed Jack and the Beanstalk - they all took part, laughed, sang and gave those typical panto classics - "behind you" and "oh yes it is..."  It was great to see the children all so animated and they will return to do another show next year!  Even some of the staff got to take part! 

  

• Local MP Office Visit

  Mon 18 Nov 2024

  As part of parliament week, Local MP Laurence Turner's office visited the school to give an insight into the work they do both in London and in the local community.  Our children asked lots of thought-provoking questions and the general feeling is that the children found it very interesting.  Who knows, we might have a future MP in school right now!
