About Forest View Primary School


Children at the heart of every decision


At Forest View, we put children at the heart of every decision we make.


We believe that every child is unique, capable and deserving of the opportunity to succeed. We value each individual within our school community, celebrate their achievements and encourage them to recognise what they can achieve through effort, curiosity and determination.


Our expectations are high because we believe in our children. We want them to enjoy coming to school, to be proud of what they achieve and to develop the knowledge, skills, confidence and character they need for the future.


Above all, we want every child to become a Forest Venturer and to:


Try. Learn. Lead the Way.


These three words capture what we want for every child at Forest View.

Try means having the confidence and courage to take on new experiences and challenges, even when success is not guaranteed.

Learn means being curious, working hard, thinking deeply and understanding that mistakes and challenges are an important part of becoming better.

Lead the Way means developing the confidence, independence and character to make positive choices, set a good example and make a difference to others.


We want our children to understand that learning is a gift and that, with the right opportunities, encouragement and support, everyone has the right to succeed.


What we want for our children


Working in partnership with parents, carers and our wider community, we want every child at Forest View to:




Excellence and opportunity for everyone


We are ambitious for our children and for the community we serve.


We want to ensure that a child's circumstances never limit their aspirations or opportunities. Our aim is not simply for children to make progress while they are at Forest View, but for them to develop the knowledge, confidence and ambition that will allow them to make choices about their own futures.


We recognise that children do not all learn in the same way or start from the same point. Through high-quality teaching, appropriate adaptation, support and challenge, we work to ensure that every child can access learning, experience success and make strong progress.


Our curriculum is shaped by the children and community we serve while providing the breadth, ambition and knowledge children need to understand the wider world. We combine high academic expectations with engaging learning and rich experiences that encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas and discover their individual strengths.


Our values


At the heart of Forest View are two core values:


Kindness and Resilience


We believe these provide strong foundations for learning and for life.

Kindness helps children understand the importance of their words and actions, value others, build positive relationships and contribute to their community.

Resilience gives children the confidence to persevere when something is difficult, learn from setbacks, adapt to challenges and keep moving forward.


Alongside kindness and resilience, we explicitly promote and celebrate:

Honesty • Tolerance • Cooperation • Invention • Courage


These values are not simply words displayed around our school. We want children to understand them, recognise them and demonstrate them through their actions. They are strengthened through our curriculum, assemblies, relationships, expectations and the many opportunities children have to contribute to school life.


Preparing children for life beyond Forest View


Our values sit alongside the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.


Through their everyday experiences at Forest View, children learn to listen to others, respect different viewpoints, understand rights and responsibilities, make positive choices and contribute to the communities of which they are part.


Ultimately, we want every child to leave Forest View as a successful learner and a confident, responsible young person who is well prepared for the next stage of their education.


We want them to leave knowing that they can face new challenges, learn from their experiences, show kindness towards others and have the confidence to make a positive difference.


We want every child to leave Forest View ready to Try, Learn and Lead the Way.
