Fortis Academy is a flagship secondary school for the Thrive approach to supporting wellbeing of students who may find school life to be difficult.
Our Zone
Mrs V Williams leads the OuRZone team to help students manage their circumstances, providing them with a structured, individualised plan to allow them to flourish in our community. We have been working closely with Thrive to become one of the leading secondary schools in the country in this approach, and further information will be coming soon.
