Step Back to 1666! 🕵️♂️🔥
Year 2 turned back the clock to 17th-century London for an exciting drama activity! Working in groups, they brought historical scenarios to life—from navigating narrow streets packed with timber-framed houses to imagining life as horse-cart drivers and town labourers.
Through roleplay and freeze-frames, everyone got a hands-on taste of how closely connected, smelly and flammable,1666 London really was right before the Great Fire. 🎭🧱🔥

A great big thank you to Arvin’s Mummy, Jess for coming into school to talk to us about teeth. We learnt so much and are excited to try out our new toothbrushes, toothpaste and timer. #onebigfamily #communitylinks
Meet Our Head Boy and Head Girl!
This year at Forest Park, one of our key themes is developing future leaders, giving our children opportunities to build confidence, take responsibility, listen to others and develop the skills they need to make a positive difference.
We are therefore delighted to introduce our fantastic Year 6 Head Girl, Mia, and Head Boy, Arlo.
🎨 Meet Mia, our Head Girl
Mia is a creative, caring and enthusiastic young leader who is excited about helping to move our school forward this year. She loves cats, baking and art, and her favourite subjects include History, Art, PE and English.
Mia is looking forward to representing the children of our school, listening to their ideas and helping to make sure pupil voice is at the heart of school life. We know her creativity, enthusiasm and thoughtful approach will make her a wonderful role model for others.
⚽ Meet Arlo, our Head Boy
Arlo is a hugely enthusiastic and sporty young leader who loves football, rugby and swimming. He also enjoys representing Forest Patk and taking part in lots of different sports. His favourite subjects are Maths and PE.
Arlo is excited about his new leadership role and is keen to represent our pupils, encourage others and play an active part in making our school an even better place to learn and grow.
Together, Mia and Arlo have an important role to play.
Our pupil leaders will have opportunities to develop their communication, teamwork, responsibility, problem-solving and decision-making skills, while listening to the ideas and views of their fellow pupils.
We want our children to understand that leadership isn’t about having a title, it’s about making a difference, helping others and having the confidence to make positive contributions.
We are incredibly proud of Mia and Arlo and can’t wait to see how they grow into their roles throughout the year.
Congratulations, Mia and Arlo, we know you’re going to be fantastic! 👏
