GBGreat school Great academically and the school is very diverse. Certain teachers have lost their luster for teaching but in general the staff loves the kids and their jobs. From what I heard Pricipal Kleiman really turned the school around.

GBone of the worst schools in my opinion… one of the worst schools in my opinion is basically just fun. for a secondary school I believe that learning is one of the most important things but in Fortis Academy there is not

GBMy advice from a mother of four… My advice from a mother of four children within this school do not send your child to fortis academy under any circumstances, The teachers are disrespectful immature and abusive and racial towards the pupils with no training on how to conduct themselves or control anything they developed personal vendettas towards children. They have teaching assistants teaching classes who are not qualified for this, they run the school like a prison ensuring pupils are regularly put in isolation or long durations of detention for minor issues without contacting parents resulting in children leaving school at late times which is a big safeguarding issue and is not appropriate. The headteacher is nasty, rude and non caring to your concerns and a good liar if you can even get to see him as your often entertained by the non caring deputy head. During the 3 years of involvement within the school my kids have been emotionally, physically and mentally abused which I have video evidence as I asked my kids to record when they feel threatened and it’s pushed under the carpet by staff which I will be taking this further. Your child will not learn within this school just develop behaviour problems, and a bad report at the end. The school itself is in bad condition not fit for children to learn in prisons are in better condition check it out for yourself. In all there is nothing good to say about this school and ofstead should shut this school down and start again for the sake of childrens education and wellbeing.

GBWe love Fortis! When my daughter was in preschool, I started the daunting task of finding a school that would be challenging and still have the things that I grew up with, like art and music class. I love the moral focus too. This is a diverse school that respects differences and harnesses peace and everybody is friendly. There are plenty of extra curricular things to become involved in such as art club, math club, sports, all things a school kid would want to become involved in. My daughter is now in the fifth grade and I can't imagine sending her anywhere else. We have been satisfied with her success and happy with all the teachers and dean's. The principal is always in site and approachable. I strongly would recommend this school.

GBExcellent Teacher's & Staff. On my case, The Teacher's, really take time and effort teaching my son when he first enrolled in Fortis Academy. As time goes by, I saw my son improved so much, my kid emotional and intelligence surpass my expectation. credit goes to the Teacher's. Job well done. As to the staff, they are all friendly and approachable always wear a smile. And to the Dean's, they are there always ready to listen to my concerns, and address the issue fairly. Listening to both sides. And to the Principal, he always there helping, always ready to guide you in your inquiry, always greet you with warm welcome with a great smile and hello, just like a father to all.
