School Summary

Fort Pitt Grammar School was established in 1929 and it is an all-girls grammar school in Chatham, Kent. The school gets its name from the Napoleonic fort which was once built on the site as part of the defences overlooking the River Medway. It became an academy in 2010.

The school’s ethos is founded on the four ‘excellences’: academic, community, appearance and environment. The school believes that together these values create a school where achievement and happiness go hand in hand.

Fort Pitt specialises in science and maths. Since 2012, the school has worked with other local schools as part of the Fort Pitt Grammar School Academy Trust. Fort Pitt has Leading Edge status and is a National Support School.
