On Thursday 13th November 2025, Fortis Trust hosted its annual Certificate Presentation Event, at the Royal Dockyard Church, Historic Dockyard, Chatham
Staff, students and Supported Interns across the trust joined together to celebrate their fantastic achievements!
We also welcomed members of our Trustee Board, as well as members of the Bradfields Academy Governing Body.
The evening started with a celebration of the Bradfields Academy Primary Community, who received awards for English, Maths, Creativity, and Community.
Examination certificates were presented by the Bradfields Academy Principal, Mr Waters, and the Forward2Employment Principal, Mrs Halton.
Subject Leaders, Engagement Support Leads, and F2E Job Coaches presented a range of special awards for individual students and Interns.
As part of tradition, we also presented Staff Service Awards for staff members who reached 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of service within Fortis Trust.
Throughout the evening, there were speeches, one from the former Head Student of 2024-2025, where she spoke with great passion about her time at Bradfields and the staff who helped her through her journey. The second speech was from Charlie, a former Forward2Employment intern, who spoke about how Forward2Employment changed his life, and led him to getting paid employment at the end of his time with them. There was also an unplanned speech from a student, where he thanked a range of staff and students for their support during his time at Bradfields Academy.
As said on the night, we are so proud of every single one of our students and young people for everything they have achieved across the trust.
