Fortismere

Fortismere is a Foundation School with multiple specialisms in Maths, Foreign Languages, Music and Computing. The school vision is:

"Fortismere will continue to be an outstanding, popular and successful school. It will win hearts and minds through adding value to its students and staff, playing a key role in its wider community and leading innovative practice that impacts nationally and internationally."

For a number of years Fortismere has been identified as an HPSS (High Performing Specialist School) and is highly regarded and very well supported by the community that it serves.

With a strong focus on outstanding progress for all, as well as diverse cultural enrichment with strong international links, the school has regularly featured as one of the top comprehensives in the country in several newspaper articles, and is heavily over-subscribed in all years.

With a Sixth Form of 450 students, the school attracts applications from over 500 post-16 students each year. Most of our Year 13 leavers go on to university and many gain places at top Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, studying in highly competitive areas like Medicine, Natural Sciences, Law and English.
