Forest Gate Community School

This was my school, with the teachers I had I can say that the school is the best school educationally and interactively! I would recommend your children to go there!

It sounds like a good school. I would've been going there only I moved. I would recommend that if you get a place there don't miss the chance.

The school is good apart from the teachers.They give hours of work and the teachers do not respect the students.They gave my friends a 1hr detention playing football in the football pitch simply because of "Physical Contact". As one of the students in this school I highly recommend you do not Bring your child here.Hope the teachers see this and reflect on them selves.

This is an good school for education.. and I recommend it .. but this school needs a little bit more understanding of where there children's are , today my daughter was in detention and I asked the office is they knew where my daughter was and they didn't ??! I came to get her belongings and they say she went home ..? When she was actually in school .. :/

Great school! The teachers relentlessly seek to push students at the school to boundaries which would have otherwise been unfathomable. With the constant motivation that being labelled as some who is from a “disadvantaged background” is nothing (in comparison to those who attend private education) students are able to go above and beyond their potential! The Ofsted Outstanding rating says it all!

My son is currently in Year 9 and he is extremely happy in FGCS and doing well academically with great support from excellent staff and friendship groups. The results in this school speak for themselves...6th best in the country for GCSE results! and outstanding as well! Yes discipline is strict with one-hour detention for even being 1-minute late but detention is never during lessons, instead always after school or on a Saturday. I love that the school discipline system is so strict and consistent resulting in fewer children repeating poor behaviour and respecting staff more as they should be. An inspirational school which defies the assumption that schools have institutional Racism, with a very high percentage of SLT being from BME community, which represents the make-up of the school community hence encouraging children to aim/achieve high. Rarely see schools like FGCS with such a high number of BME staff at SLT level. Please look at their job vaccancy list, rarely jobs advertised because staff do not leave and are clearly happy there! Happy staff=Happy students! Well done FGCS keep on doing what your doing the formula works!

the school has incredible results but the treatment of the students is absolutely unacceptable! SNACK ATTACK i a joke, they once took a prawn sandwich leaving me with no lunch to eat.

I wonder how much bribe ofsted took to give this school the highest rank in newham, this school lacks real teachers almost all the teachers that i met don’t know anything about teaching, no experience whats so ever, and they wonder why kids do crime. My kid spend almost 4 weeks in a school that i have not applied for he keeps getting expelled and the rest of the year almost every day his in BR like a prison setting in a small room alone studying by him self. This has to be the worst school i have ever heard of in my life so far. I advise parents not to take there kids to this school forget about ofsted your kid will hate education like my kid.
