The school also work with Sydenham School to provide 6th form education for both male and female students. We consider our 6th form the best place for post-16 study in the borough.

We also believe that students achieve their full potential if they enjoy their work and find it stimulating and challenging. Forest Hill School offers a curriculum of great breadth that includes Dance, Drama, Art and Music alongside the traditional academic subjects. A total of 1,255 pupils attend FHS of which circa 250 attend the 6th form. The companies identified from these shortlisting questions to receive the ITT for the Managed Service will then receive a detailed set of requirements.
