Information about the 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.

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 simple one;to be the best school in the country, and by that we mean that all of our students receive a better education here than they would if they went to any other school in the whole country.

As a grammar school, academic rigour is part and parcel of our teaching, and we believe that the biggest factor influencing students’ success is the quality of the learning experience they receive both in and out of lessons.

At Fort Pitt the happiness of students and staff is central to what we do. We believe in all of us working together to ensure the best outcomes for the young people we have been entrusted with. They get one chance to get it right, so it is vital we help them every step of the way.

Recently described as a “remarkable place to learn” (Ofsted 2022), Fort Pitt is also a wonderful place to work. Our staff are proud to work here and we have strived to ensure workload and the wellbeing of staff is a key priority.
