Forest Hill School - ICT Managed Service

Description

Forest Hill School (FHS) is an aspirational comprehensive school in south east London providing education to boys aged 11-18.  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. This is exemplified by a year-on-year increase in the number of pupils progressing to Russell Group universities and other prestigious institutions, and an enviable record of young people moving on to study at Oxford and Cambridge.
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.
