Message from
Steve Brady, Headteacher
Iam delighted to report that the summer GCSE
and A level results were once again extremely
pleasing. The number of students achieving 5
A*-C including English and Mathematics grades
reached record levels, 62%. Central to this
success 63% gained A*-C in Maths; 62% in
English and 57% of students achieving two
good GCSEs in Science. Our contextualised
value added score, which measure progress
against prior attainment, has improved
significantly placing us in the top
25% of all schools nationally.
Tribute to
Andrew Cutting
It was with great sorrow and
sadness that I had to inform the
school community of Andrew’s
sudden death before half term.
The death of such a young man has been a
distressing event for everyone. I would like to
pass on thanks on behalf of Andrew’s family for
all the kind and thoughtful messages of
condolence, which has given great solace and
comfort to them in this most difficult of times.
Andrew lived in Forest Hill as a young child
and his late father attended the school many
years before. His sheer delight and the pride
shown when he was appointed to the staff will
remain a constant and happy memory to me.
Andrew’s funeral and cremation took place in
Broadstairs and was attended by colleagues,
school governors, representatives from his tutor
group and from the Year 9 football team,
together with older students he taught and
whose lives Andrew had influenced in such
Results in the sixth form were characterised
by an increase in the number of students
obtaining the higher grades. The early entry
policy for most Year 10 students in Maths and
English Literature continues to prove successful
with 48% and 61% of the cohort already having
achieved GCSE at grades A*-C.
In January we will launch our new interactive
website which, it is hoped, will improve
communication with parents and
provide up to date information at the
click of a button.
positive and memorable ways.
Totally committed to improving
opportunities for the boys, Andrew
gave generously of his time, taking
football teams after school and at weekends,
and accompanying residential visits to Wales
and Germany. As a tutor he was caring,
compassionate and supportive of all his tutees
and they felt secure and confident in his care.
Always calm, composed and even-tempered,
Andrew was, in most circumstances,
unflappable — except when his school football
team or beloved Liverpool were losing, or when
he mistimed a shot on the golf course, then he
readily became animated and his competitive
spirit came to the fore!
Andrew was a young man in the prime of his
life with a successful and fulfilling career ahead
of him. He died tragically, doing the job he loved.
He will be sadly missed but always remembered
with great fondness by all whose lives he
touched.

drama
Welcome Ms Sullivan
As a drama teacher, my ambitions have
always been to produce a high
standard of theatre with a wide range of
students in a well-resourced department.
On arriving at Forest Hill School, I was
bowled over by the professionalism of the
students in their drama lesson, the quality of
the teaching and the fantastic facilities.
As soon as I walked into the Drama
Studio and watched Ms Montague-Gibson
teach a lesson on the Holocaust to attentive
Year 9s, I knew Forest Hill was the school
for me. Since arriving in September, I have
been consistently impressed by the acting
abilities of the students. From my
accomplished, innovative Year 11 GCSE
group who specialise in physical theatre to
my new Year 7s exploring drama for the first
time, I never fail to be moved, engaged and
surprised by Forest Hill’s creativity and
energy. In a short space of time, I have been
delighted by my Year 8 classes’ ability to
create dragons and castles, using merely
their bodies, enthralled by the BTEC acting
group’s passion for Theatre-in-Education
and reduced to tears by my Year 10’s
recreation of a painting of the slave trade.
With the forthcoming Collaborative
Adventures and Oliver! performances, it is
full steam ahead for the drama department.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Ms Sullivan Head of Drama
It’s time to get serious!
As a Year 11 student, I felt excited to
finally be beginning my drama GCSE
exam. However, when Ms Sullivan
announced we were going straight into a
mock exam scenario it felt very daunting.
The phrase our drama teachers used was
‘It’s time to get serious!’
The lessons were difficult but enjoyable
and rewarding. We began our exam by
exploring a poem as a stimulus, and taking
it ‘from the page to the stage’. In each
lesson we created drama from different
Collaborative Adventures Theatre Company
If you don’t already know, Collaborative
Adventures is Forest Hill School’s new
theatre company, which is aiming to
produce professional standard work with
dedicated and committed students. Each
project as it arises will audition students
according to the requirements of that
particular production; the audition for this
project was a very gruelling and difficult
physical workshop.
We are currently producing a devised
physical theatre piece based on an original
script by our very own Ms Montague-
Gibson called ‘Anatomy of a Life’. The story
revolves around a character called Yannick
and how his life goes out of control when
he gets mixed up with gambling and the
debt that he incurs. Our opening scene was
shown at the Performing Arts Showcase in
November as a taster for the full production
at the Drama Showcase in February 2010.
When I first heard about Collaborative
Adventures I was really excited by the
thought of being part of a professional
theatre company and having the
opportunity to get to know how a real
company operates. I am proud to be one
the first members and I am looking forward
to the full production in February.

stimuli, including a
Seurat painting, an
image of the
Empire Windrush, a
piece of classical
music and a
newspaper article.
All the lessons
incorporated different drama techniques,
including my favourite Marking the
Moment.
In one particular lesson, Ms Sullivan was
in-role as a scientist, dressed in a lab coat.
The whole space was transformed into a
lab and we were expected to respond
Lewisham Youth Theatre
In October,
important visitors
from Lewisham
Youth Theatre came
to one of our GCSE
drama lessons to
invite us to take part
in a project they
were running with Emergency Exit Arts.
Helen and Argi ran some drama exercises
with us, which helped us develop our
interpretative skills. At the end of the lesson
they gave us leaflets explaining the project.
I thought it was a great opportunity so as
soon as I got home I spoke with my parents
and then called up to book my place. I was
told I was the first person from Forest Hill
School which I was quite proud of.
In October I went to Catford Broadway
Theatre and joined in with the workshop
and enjoyed myself while participating in
the interesting activities that took place. It
was an exciting experience to create drama
at the Broadway Theatre and I can’t wait for
my first performance which will take place
in February.

using scientific language and to conduct
experiments. Ms Sullivan didn’t talk, but
explained using her white board what we
must do in the performance. She didn’t
give us any rules but told us to improvise
— the lesson was so fun.
In our lessons we also considered how
lighting can affect the mood and
atmosphere of the performances and
often lit our stage with bright and brilliant
colours. I am really excited about how
Year 11 has gone so far and am
determined to produce a high standard of
innovative theatre.

Oliver!
Three days into the beginning of the
autumn term I was offered by Ms
Montague-Gibson the post of Assistant
Director for our second whole school
musical Oliver! I took the opportunity and
have not regretted it since. So far we
have cast all the parts and I have even
got a small part as Dr Grimwig. We have
had lots of rehearsals, choreographed
two songs (‘I’d Do Anything’ and ‘Pick a
Pocket or Two’) as well as directed three
scenes. We will be doing two Saturday
rehearsals this term and also next term.
By Christmas we hope to have gone
through each scene at least once.
Even though it has been hard work I
have enjoyed myself and I am looking
forward to the final performances in
March 2010.
Joshua Lawson H10F
Please Sir! Can we have
some more?
COULD YOU SPONSOR OR
ADVERTISE IN OLIVER!?
Forest Hill School’s annual whole school
musical needs sponsors and advertisers.
Our large scale production running from
24th to 25th March 2010 will reach a
target audience of more than 600 adults,
as well as another 1400 students – that’s
nearly 2000 people who live, work or
study in the south east of London.
As you can imagine, putting on a show
involving over 60 young people, can be a
costly exercise. We desperately need
your sponsorship or donations to ensure
our students and audiences have the
most professional performance possible.
In return for your sponsorship you will
get your company logo and name on all
posters, tickets and programmes.
Programme advertiser rates are as

GCSE Dance Takes Off!
The new Year 10 GCSE intake is
significant for two reasons! Firstly, the
size. Having doubled from last year we
now have 24 budding dancers willing to
take on the challenge and hard work of the
Dance GCSE. Knowing the GCSE will
require physical fitness, group work,
motivation and extra curricular work it is a
big commitment to decide to take on this
qualification. The second reason is the
new specification. The examining body
Boy Blue Entertainment Dance Company at FHS
On the 14th October, nearly 50 Year 9
students had the chance to get
involved in a whole day of dance workshops
with professional dance company Boy Blue
Entertainment. The day commenced with an
amazing 20 minute performance in the FHS
Dance Studio by Boy Blue. They then did a
whole group warm up with a standardised
routine to house music. After lunch they
then separated the students into groups
with specific tutors for each group, to work
DONATIONS NEEDED
This year in the drama department two special events are happening; the musical Oliver!
in March 2010 and the launch of Collaborative Adventures, the new school theatre
company. These are positive and rewarding projects for our students to take part in.
However, they cannot take place without extra funding and that is where you come in. We
need donations of any size to make sure that these projects are fully realised and our
students can get the best rewards. If you can help in anyway with a small, medium or
large donation it would be gratefully received and acknowledged. All cheques should be
made payable to FOREST HILL SCHOOL. (Please put “Drama department” on the back
of the cheque). All donations will go directly to the costs of the productions.
AQA has long been discussing a change in
the GCSE, and now this change has been
implemented. The opportunities presented
are indeed more intense, but aim to give
the dancer a more well-rounded view of
dance. Assessment modules are larger in
number, though the content of these
modules vary. For the first time part of the
GCSE can be taken in Year 10 and with
amazing works such as Shobana
Jeysingh’s ‘Faultline’ to help inspire the
cohort, the future for dance at Forest Hill is
looking bright and exciting.

on the following styles: Locking, Popping &
Waving, Gymnastics, Breaking & B Boyin,
and Krumpin. Each style/technique was
fused with the movement of specific animals
(Crane, Eagle, Cobra, Gorilla, Scorpion, &
Golden Dragon). At the end of the day each
group performed the sequences they had
learnt during the day. The Company agreed
that Forest Hill had been the best school
that they had ever worked with. Well done to
our Year 9 students for making such an
excellent impression.
Boy Blue were also scouting for dancers to
be involved in their Christmas performance
at the Barbican Theatre called the Pied Piper.
Two students were successful. Please see
Mr Oudkerk & Mr Jewell if you are interested
in seeing them perform!

top performance” was how the South London
“APress described Forest Hill School’s flagship
community arts festival, Forest Fest, which launched
on Saturday 4th July 2009.
Attended by more than 2000 people, the festival
boasted a jam packed programme which included a
market area tempting visitors with stalls ranging from
handmade jewellery to graffiti art; song writing and
brass workshops; plus live dance, drama and music
performances, including appearances by Morley
College’s Centre for Young Musicians...and that was
just for starters!
Both the weather and turnout was glorious, and the
festival was complimented superbly by the fun fete
activities organised by the PTA, helping to make the
day a resounding success and achieve its central aim
of ‘bringing the community together’.

Even before the event was over, planning for the
2010 festival had begun. Forest Fest 2010 will have a
multi-cultural theme, showcasing arts and culture
from around the world. If you would like to get

Summer Transition
Programme
Iwas one of the 50 children lucky enough to attend
the Summer School Performing Arts Programme.
It was for the new Year 7s, and aimed at getting us
used to the school, whilst experiencing performing
arts activities.
On our first day we were put into groups and my
group spent the day doing drama. The next day was
spent learning the ‘Thriller dance’, which was really
hard to learn but eventually we done it. On the third
day we did drumming and I really enjoyed it – we
used bins to drum with. At one point we played a
really energetic piece of music, and we also had a
chance to play with some West African drums which
was really different to how the bins sounded.
The fourth day was my best day because we went
to the British Music Experience at the O2. For our first
lesson we went into a room and had to make up a
singer or musician. My group’s singer was called
James Hart. After that session we were given a
Smarticket (a piece of card which had a chip in it), so
we could put music and information on the chip via
sensor points, then when you got home you could
access this via the BME website.
The last day we went to Laban where we learnt
some street dance. We were told that Laban is a
University where they teach you to dance
professionally and also sometimes Forest Hill boys
perform on the stage there.
Before attending the programme I was scared and
excited about starting secondary school, but now I’m
not scared. I really enjoyed the week and would
definitely recommend it to other people. It was a great
chance to meet some new friends and meet some of
our new teachers.

Learning Zone
We believe students should be able to
access support in a variety of ways.
What works for one student may not work
for another, and the Learning Zone is a way
of further diversifying the support available.
Set up in February to encourage students
from the lower school to access help and
support from their peers, each evening, a
student mentor from Year 9 or 10 is
designated a subject area in which they are
confident. They are on hand to help fellow
students with homework, class work and
revision.
The Learning Zone not only benefits the
students who come along for help –
explaining a concept to someone else
demonstrates that you truly know it.
Mentoring is a great test of your
knowledge; it is also a great way to keep
that understanding fresh in your mind. The
Learning Zone is therefore a useful method
of revision for the student mentors, helping
them to keep a firm grip on all the material
they will need to know for their GCSEs.
Joshua Lawson of H10F is a Geography
mentor. He commented that: “Being a
Learning Zone mentor is a new experience
for me and I have enjoyed myself. Not only
does it benefit those who come for help,
but the mentors gain from it too. It is a
brilliant idea and I would recommend that
all students attend at least one session”.
Amir in Year 8 attends the Learning Zone
regularly and he commented that “The
Learning Zone is a good atmosphere to
complete work in”. Leroy of S8F said “It is
good to get help from older students who
have already completed the work I am
doing not too long ago”.
It is a calm, productive study area run by
Learning Mentors for both student mentors
and pupils and everyone is invited to
attend. It runs on a Monday from 15:45
to16:45 and Tuesday to Thursday from
15:00 to 16:00 in the Atrium.

Year 8 Reading Challenge: Does older mean faster?
The Library is working with Penguin
Publishers and students from Reading
Club have formed a consultancy group.
Penguin are keen to work in partnership
with our students and have requested
feedback on a number of forthcoming
book titles. Our boys have been given
pre-proof copies and manuscripts to read
with the brief to provide feedback for the
author and publisher.
A small group of boys visited Penguin
on The Strand and met bestselling author,
Rick Riordian. Rick was in London for a
few hours last term, just enough time for
our boys to get signed copies of his best
selling Percy Jackson books!
Penguin gave us a preview of their
book trailer for Timeriders by Alex
Scarrow so a special cinema session
took place in the library together with an
exclusive reading from the manuscript.
It’s a fantastic piece of animation and
now many boys are keen to produce their
own book trailers.

sport
The Year 7 squad has remained unbeaten
in all competitions. Year 8 have won
each of their five fixtures to date; the
highlight of their season to date was the 4-2
London Cup victory over Eltham Green. Year
9 have continued to go from strength to
strength – they have remained unbeaten in
all their fixtures to date. Although Kingsdale
narrowly defeated the Year 10 squad in the
Inner London Cup, the squad is still involved
in three other cup competitions, including
the National Cup. Year 11 opened the
season with their Blackheath Cup final
against Knights. In a thrilling match, Forest
Hill ran out 5-4 winners in a penalty shootout
and are still involved in all cup
competitions.
Rugby
The Year 7 squad has made an extremely
impressive start to the season with
victories over Charles Darwin (50-10) and
Northbrook (45-0). The Year 8 squad’s
performances have been equally impressive
with victories over Langley Park (31-17) and
Charles Darwin (41-10).

As the snow melted and the weather got

into the Lewisham in Bloom Competition.
After a busy term, the judges paid us a visit
on 30th June and were shown around by
Dean Carter, Jon Clark, Callum and

were very impressed with the high standard
that had been achieved in our first year;
particularly the range of vegetables and fruit
grown, and the colourful planting of tubs
and hanging baskets.
Since we returned in September, we have
attended the Lewisham in Bloom Award
Ceremony where we were awarded 2nd
prize and £100. We have also gained our
RHS Benchmark 3 Award and the Alan

Student Survey results
The results of the student perceptions
survey were enlightening and we will be
working with the school council to respond
to their views and opinions. The summary
indicated that the school has reason to be
happy with most of its activities. The boys
felt the school was good at developing their
potential, offering encouragement and
generally helping them to improve.
Opportunities outside and beyond the
classroom were seen as good. The boys
would like us to look at the variety of subject
choices available and, interestingly, a
number of comments focus on making
lessons more active and engaging.
