fort pitt grammar school
Fort Pitt is a selective girls’ grammar school steeped in tradition but with a
modern outlook. We are a vibrant, diverse and happy school, with high
expectations and great ambitions for every one of our students. However, now,
more than ever this needs to be balanced with ensuring the well-being of our
students. As such our pastoral care is first-class and students feel supported
and cared for. We recognise that each child is unique and want them to know they
are loved and valued. They are our greatest asset and they are supported by a
team of staff dedicated to motivating, guiding and challenging each one of them
to be the best they can be. We believe that working closely with parents is
essential if we are to be the best school possible for every child in our care.
Our aim is a very simple one; every student at Fort Pitt should receive a better
educational experience than they would if they attended any other school. Each
child gets one chance at their education, and our role is to ensure that
everyone in our school community can grow and flourish, and make the most of
their innate ability. We want every student to appreciate that making mistakes
and taking risks are part of learning, and that with determination and courage,
challenges can be overcome. The culture and ethos of the school is underpinned
by our Fort Pitt values of Respect, Success, Aspiration, Resilience and
Collaboration. Our website will only give you a little flavour as to what Fort
Pitt is all about, but it gives a good indication. To fully appreciate all we
have to offer, please do visit us and ask our fantastic students and staff any
questions; they’ll be more than happy to help.
