Extra-curricular

At Fortis Academy Sixth Form, enrichment is at the heart of our commitment to developing Character, Resilience, and Aspiration in every student. We believe education is about more than just academic achievement—it's about shaping well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the challenges of the future. Our enrichment activities provide opportunities to build leadership, enhance personal skills, and broaden horizons, helping students grow in confidence and ambition. Through experiences both inside and outside the classroom, we equip our students with the resilience to overcome obstacles and the aspiration to reach their full potential.
