Fort Pitt Grammar School

About the School

Fort Pitt is a selective girls’ grammar school steeped in tradition but with a modern outlook. The school is a vibrant, diverse and happy school, with high expectations and great ambitions for every one of the students.

However, now, more than ever this needs to be balanced with ensuring the well-being of students. Pastoral care is first-class and students feel supported and cared for. Staff recognise that each child is unique and they want them to know they are loved and valued.

Students are supported by a team of staff dedicated to motivating, guiding and challenging each one of them to be the best they can be. Fort Pitt believes that working closely with parents is essential.​

Their 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 Fort Pitt's role is to ensure that everyone in their school community can grow and flourish, and make the most of their innate ability.

Staff 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 Fort Pitt values of Respect, Success, Aspiration, Resilience and Collaboration.​
