## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Support from the Staff: My child has been at Fortis Academy for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the progress they have made. The staff are always supportive and enthusiastic, and the facilities are top-notch. They have a great approach to mutual respect and it's wonderful to see the students look out for each other. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Start to Secondary School: We're really pleased with the way Fortis Academy has settled my child in. The curriculum seems well-rounded and the teachers are great at communicating with us about their progress. The academy's emphasis on mutual respect and inclusivity is also reassuring. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some Positives, Some Negatives: We were at Fortis Academy for three years and while we did have some good experiences, there were some issues with communication from the school. The facilities are modern and the teachers are mostly good, but I felt like they could do more to support students with SEND. Overall, a mixed bag. *(Jun 2020)*
