Forest Gate Community School

Seven of our brilliant Year 9 students have been accepted onto the prestigious Girls Engineering Summer School at Imperial College London.

This exciting opportunity will allow them to meet world-class researchers and innovators, including Sir James Dyson, and gain valuable insight into the world of engineering and innovation.

The competition for places was fierce, making this achievement even more impressive. We could not be prouder of their hard work, talent and ambition.

Prospective Head Students made their pitches to their peers this week, sharing their ideas, ambitions and vision for the school.

Elections will be taking place shortly, and we wish all candidates the very best of luck.

For two straight Sundays, staff have given up their time for last minute revision sessions for students in English and Science. Attendance has been completely optional but Year 11 have packed them out. Well done 👏🏻

Congratulations to Ms Khan for her work supporting disadvantaged high attainers. This case study highlights how the right support can unlock potential for our student.
