About Fulneck School
Fulneck School is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18. We are situated in a traditional English village just 5 miles from Leeds city centre. With easy access by air, rail and road, yet set in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, Fulneck School is an ideal choice for parents looking for a day or boarding school for their children.
We pride ourselves on setting high expectations for every individual, instilling good manners and fostering an ethic of hard work. Our community is enriched by the cultural diversity of our pupil body, with day pupils coming to us from across Yorkshire and boarders from all over the world. Pupils experience outstanding opportunities inside and outside the classroom, learning how to work in a team and how to provide the leadership that our society needs.
We are a small school and therefore offer a more personalised education than many other schools. This website can only give a flavour of what Fulneck School has to offer. Please do come and visit – you will always be made welcome at Fulneck School.
