‘Realising potential, creating the future’
Our mission statement, designed by our students, highlights our commitment to maximising achievement and to develop our students as individuals. We believe that there is no limit to learning or ceiling on achievement and we seek the best progress and outcomes for all of our students. Our view of education is one that, while focusing on results, goes beyond qualifications through developing strong moral values, excellent social skills and a sense of community in our students so that they develop into articulate, responsible and successful adults.
Ofsted Inspection
Following our recent Ofsted inspection on 4th and 5th of October 2023 we are delighted that the school has been graded outstanding in all areas.
A school is a complex social structure and whilst any inspection is a snap shot in a moment in time it is particularly pleasing that inspectors were able to clearly identify the positive culture and moral purpose of our school.
Our core HEART values are fundamental to all we do at Fulford. Over the years we have been determined to ensure our pupils benefit from an aspirational, academic curriculum and at the same time provide a fully inclusive learning environment where all are treated as individuals and supported to be the best versions of themselves.
