Building Schools for the Future (BSF) at Fortismere
This £4.5m project was completed in Autumn 2010. Today students and staff are now enjoying the new facilities created as part of Building Schools for the Future.
|back to top“Fortismere has a strong pulse of creative energy which is highly evident and a real joy. I have been both impressed and moved by the music I have heard from a range of genres and indeed students. A school whose students' playing is so moving that it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, is a wonderful place to be and our music block will ensure that music is at the heart of our school. It will also provide a fantastic resource for community use.”
