🚯 Keep Fortrose Clean – Respect Our School & Community 🌍
A reminder to all students: please don’t drop litter during break and lunchtime—on school grounds or in the wider community.
Fortrose Academy is proud of its strong relationship with our local community, and we all have a role in keeping that bond positive. Littering not only affects the environment but also how our school is seen by others.
Let’s show respect, take responsibility, and keep our spaces clean. 💙
Bin it or take it with you.
Fortrose Academy pupil reminder: No food or drinks should be consumed in the PE changing rooms. Water only. Thanks.

TOILETS 🚽
Following consultation with pupils and parents, we have decided to zone toilets according to year groups on a trial basis.
This will come into effect immediately after the October holiday.
Toilets for specific year groups are detailed below and we would be grateful if you could familiarise yourself with these arrangements:
S1/S2 - Technical & Business
S3/S4 - Guidance corridor
Boys' Toilets Opposite Guidance Office🚻🚽
If you require to use the boys' toilets opposite the Guidance Office during a teaching period, please go to the Deputes' Office and ask to use the toilet.
The toilets will then be unlocked to allow you to use them.
If no depute is in the office come to the school office to ask.
The toilets will be open at intervals and lunchtimes.
S5/S6 - Maths
Students with specific needs will continue to access all toilets across the school.
We continue to encourage our young people to use toilets appropriately to allow others access.
There will inevitably be some adjustments made as we implement and review this new approach.
We thank you for your support with this matter.
HOSPITALITY
Reminder that pupils should bring their own reusable container from home when they are cooking.
These can be left in Kitchen 2 in the morning and picked up at the end of the day.
Mental health Ambassadors
Meetings are every Thursday at lunchtime.
If any new members are interested in becoming a mental health ambassador or have an interest in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing within the school, please come along to R35 on Thursday, all are welcome.
Also please remember to bring your lunch along.
College Pupils
Days, times and courses are on display outside guidance.
