Fort Pitt Grammar School

Fort Pitt grammar is not necessarily the worst option but me personally I am not having the fact that you lot can afford a whole new science block and also a new drama and music area when they already have their own perfectly functioning blocks yet you can’t afford private school buses and this means that when it is raining young girls have to walk up a big slippery hill filled with poop and glass bottles smashed everywhere and yet you think this is an acceptable environment for kids to be educated within? Well you know what I think, I think that fort Pitt is absolutely pathetic and no student should have to suffer through the pain of going to an awful school like this, don’t try and tell me you do your best to protect your students because u don’t so don’t make yourselves seem like victims when we all know the students can’t even ask questions without being told it’s not acceptable and also the fact that we aren’t aloud to go to the toilet like i understand if someone is going every lessons but I don’t control my bladder and if you don’t let me go I will exit myself and escort myself to the toilet, DO BETTER 😒😒 xoxo your fav yr8 student _ live laugh hate fpgs xxxxxx

Yes they push you but they don't set you much homework, the classes are only 50 minutes which can be a bit annoying for example in p.e. Another thing is that the food is very nice but expensive - who would pay 2.50 for a panini?. The school is well protected with a security fence around the school, the teachers can be fun and are very helpful, plenty of outside garden space which is great for lunch, the school trips are awesome - In year 8 I had already been abroad with the school. Plenty of extra curricular activities for all mindsets from sports to computing.

The school didn’t care about my mental health one bit. Teachers asked me personal questions and maths teacher made half the class cry because we was year 8’s with a grade 3, school caused me to have anxiety attacks weekly and the students can be super rude. Was threatened to be ‘jumped’ for sitting in someone’s chair on accident. Do not recommend. The food is pretty peng though.

It's a good school, it allows us to have our phones at break and lunch and most of the teachers are nice.👩‍🏫 A bit strict with the dress code 👗, if pe is last period, you are not allowed to go home with shorts under your skirt etc, you have to change fully. The pe socks are annoying to wear cuz they are so tight, but you get used to them.

Some teachers don't make lessons that 'fun' so half the class just fall asleep.😴 The computing teachers🖥️ (one in particular) need to call the IT department if a computer won't turn on, I thought if they were a computing teacher, they would know how to do that themselves.

The students here are nice, and not many fights happen.❤️ There are lots of gay kids 🏳️‍🌈(including me 😚✌️) and we all do pride parades at lunch time.

Talking about lunch, it could be longer, and so could break.⌚ Also, we are meant to have 5 mins travel time in-between each lesson, but the teachers in the lesson before, still teach in that time. This school is not very helpful with mental health,🧠 they just recommend apps like Kooth and yeah. Anyway, my rant is over.👋
