To see if your child is eligible for free school meals, please visit [our free school meals page](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/for-parents/school-lunches). Each year, schools who receive the Pupil Premium report on the way they have used their funding, and how they plan to use their funding over the next few years. In line with the evidence from research and with government guidance about getting maximum impact from the funding, the Pupil Premium at Fortis academy is deployed in three main areas: - High-quality teaching - Targeted academic support - Wider strategies to address non-academic barriers to success in school The detail of our most recent plan is included in this document, alongside the review of the strategy for the previous academic year: Fortis Academy Pupil Premium Strategy 2025 213 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/fortis-academy/files/documents/Disadvantaged_Policy_2025.pdf) ### About Us - [Welcome from the Headteacher](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/welcome-video) - [Key Information](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/key-information) - [Vision, Culture & Values](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/vision-culture-values) - [Admissions](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/admissions) - [Academy Council](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/academy-council) - [Leadership Team](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/leadership-team) - [Ofsted](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/ofsted) - [Open Events](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/open-events) - [Policies](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/policies) - [Results](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/results) - [Safeguarding](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/safeguarding) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/pupil-premium) - [SEND](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/send) - [Term Dates](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/termdates) - [The School Day](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/about-us/the-school-day) - [Transition - Year 6 into 7](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/for-parents/year-6-into-year-7) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2426.30260414627!2d-1.9057416231562243!3d52.546051034300206!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x4870a36e62f47207%3A0xf3c68c92e5c0b316!2sFortis%20Academy!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sen!4v1702887597107!5m2!1sen!2sen) **Fortis Academy** Aldridge Road Great Barr Birmingham West Midlands B44 8NU Tel: 0121 366 6611 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/FortisAcademySET/) - [X](https://twitter.com/academy_fortis) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fortisacademyset) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/academy_fortis) © Copyright 2023–2026 Fortis Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.fortisacademy.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
