Deputy Head Personal Development & Co-Curricular
The Deputy Head Personal Development & Co-Curricular (DHPDCC) at Forest School leads on pupil personal development across the Senior School, co-ordinating the opportunities that pupils enjoy in this outstanding all-round school to develop and grow as individuals.
The wide-ranging role will entail working to set up, maintain, monitor and measure the impact that opportunities and experiences inside and outside the classroom, during directed and undirected time, on-site and off-site, contribute to the development of the characteristics, competencies, confidence and skills outlined in the published Forest School Personal Development Curriculum.
More specifically the DHPDCC will oversee the co-curricular life of Forest School. The co-curricular is a major contributor to pupils’ personal development at Forest and, as such, the DHPDCC will play a crucial role in managing and developing a broad, enriching and high achieving co-curriculum that expands opportunities for pupil leadership and teamwork.
Introduction to Forest School
Surrounded by ancient forest and only thirty minutes from central London, Forest School is an outstanding independent day school located on the edge of Epping Forest. Forest is a large, diverse, and vibrant school, with approximately 1,500 pupils from 4 to 18. Our traditional House structure means that each pupil is treated as an individual, of whom we have the highest expectations, while our size enables us to offer breadth and depth of opportunity. Foresters are ‘known, liked and valued’ and this is central to our educational philosophy.
