A very warm welcome to the Fort Hill Integrated Primary School website. We are incredibly proud of our school, our dedicated staff, and most of all, the wonderful children who make our school such a special place.

At Fort Hill, we are committed to creating a caring, nurturing, and respectful environment where every child is encouraged and supported to reach their full potential. We believe in fostering a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom and lasts a lifetime.

Our aim is to provide a stimulating and motivating learning experience that prepares children for life in the 21st century. We value curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, and we want our pupils to leave us not only with strong academic foundations, but also with the confidence, compassion, and resilience to make a positive impact on the world.

We are proud to be an integrated school, and this is reflected in the inclusive and diverse nature of our school community. We value and celebrate the different backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures that enrich our school life, and we are committed to fostering mutual respect and understanding amongst all.

Our curriculum gives equal importance to academic achievement and to developing children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being. We want every child to enjoy their learning and feel proud of what they achieve.

Fort Hill IPS thrives thanks to a team of innovative and inspirational staff, supportive parents, and children who come to school every day with an excellent attitude and a love for learning. We believe that strong partnerships between school, home, and the wider community are essential for children to truly flourish.

We deeply value the support we receive from our parents and carers and recognise the important role they play in enriching their child’s educational experience. Parents are always welcome in school—whether to offer help, share ideas, or discuss any aspect of their child’s progress or well-being.

If you would like to learn more about our school, or if you would like to arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You are very welcome. If you require paper copies of any documents on this website, please get in touch with the school office to request them.
