Welcome back to all our students and staff! We hope you had a great Christmas break. Here's to a fantastic new year at Forest Hill School filled with learning, growth, and new opportunities #BackToSchool #happynewyear2026

Congratulations to Samuel (Y7) and Lucas (Y8) for their winning designs of this year's Christmas card competition! These designs are featured on our Christmas e-cards which have been sent to all parents and carers, school governors, and school suppliers this week. #holidaysarecoming

Students and staff enjoyed a fantastic Christmas lunch today - slow roasted turkey or vegetable wellington served with all the festive trimmings followed by Christmas yule cake. We're all stuffed now! A big thank you to our catering providers Harrison.

This week, we welcomed a guest speaker from the Bank Of England to talk to SFH6 students about his career, the role of the BoE, money and quantitative easing - sadly no investment tips though! Great attendance, particularly from our economics and business students - and some very positive feedback.

At FHS, students take their RE GCSE in Year 10. Great to see them working so hard in yesterday's 'How to Revise' session ahead of the mock examinations next week. Well done, boys!

What a fantastic Open Evening! From the international cafe in our MFL department to a heart dissection in the Biology lab, there were so many wonderful displays and activities on show! A big thank you to all staff and students who were there helping to show off FHS at its best.

It's the FHS Open Evening tonight - 22 Sept, 6.00-8.00pm! Take yourself on a tour, chat to staff and students, listen to the headteacher's talk and enjoy music and dance performances on stage. Refreshments will be provided. No booking required, everyone welcome!

Our Y7 students may still be settling in but the 2026 Admissions season is upon us! Open events are a great opportunity to see the school in action and we will be hosting five at Forest Hill School this term. Visit foresthill.lewisham.sch.uk/open-events/ for more information.

An exceptional set of GCSE results for the Class of 2025 - our best ever for the fourth year running! Their hard work and dedication has paid off and we are very proud of all our students today. We look forward to welcoming many back to SFH6 in September #gcseresultsday2025
