Fort Pitt We are an innovative school with a very clear vision of what we want to achieve. Our ethos is founded on four “excellences”, starting with academic excellence.

Without outstanding teaching and learning taking place – day in, day out – everything else a school might excel at will go to waste. However, we know that any great school is about so much more than what happens in the classroom, which explains our belief in community excellence. Being an outward-looking and modern institution, Fort Pitt embraces this engagement at school, local, national and global level. Appearance excellence relates to the high standards maintained by students in terms of uniform, presentation and behaviour. Last but by no means least comes environment excellence. To support the other three “excellences’, we believe a high quality learning environment, totally focussed on learning, raising aspirations, achievement and celebration is essential and promotes and supports the development of pride, self-respect and enjoyment.

The return of the dynamic duo can only mean one thing… it’s House Arts Day!! We have been so, so proud of all six Houses, delivering their performative interpretations on the theme of ‘Belonging’. Our congratulations go to Turing House, crowned the winners, and a very special mention to Attenborough House for winning best programme.
We are proud of you all and so grateful you all belong with Fort Pitt 🧡💚💜💙♥️💛

The last week of term 1 is upon us, which can only mean one thing…
HOUSE ARTS 🎭
Well, perhaps not only one thing as we also have our marvellous Year 11 Food Technologists completing their NEA, lots and lots of sports fixtures for Mrs Smith and team PE to bring home the victories, as well as Open Mornings to invite prospective Year 6s in and see us in action!
Certainly enough to keep us busy til’ the last minute of the final week ❤️🤩

This week in assemblies we have been celebrating Black History Month 2026 by honouring our communities. Student speakers have educated and inspired the wider school community, focusing on influential black role models in their local, national and global communities.

“It starts with community”

Our thanks and gratitude go to the brilliant students who have researched, planned, designed and delivered Black History Month assembly this year!

Students and staff have enjoyed taking part in Culture Day today, representing their cultural heritage and national identity through both clothes and cakes.
We’d like to extend our special thanks to the student committee for planning the event and for everyone who baked, donated, bought or sold cultural cakes in the Bake Sale, which raised £80.90 for UNICEF at lunch time today!
