Fulford School
Fulford School is a coeducational comprehensive school on Fulfordgate near Heslington Lane in Fulford, York, England.
Fulford School was founded in 1963 and has been a comprehensive school since 1970. The site is close to the former Fulfordgate football ground, demolished in 1932. It is also adjacent to the Germany Beck site, where The Battle of Fulford happened. Its original motto was 'A posse ad esse' which translates to "from possibility to realisation". This can still be seen in the Archimedes block where there is a logo print on the floor.[citation needed]
The school became an academy in 2018, as the founder school of a multi-academy trust.
The school is situated in Fulford on the southern edge of the city of York, about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the University of York. It currently takes in pupils from York including Hungate, Fulford and Fishergate as well as from the nearby villages of Dunnington, Elvington, Wheldrake, Thorganby, Escrick, Naburn and Bishopthorpe. The current headteacher is Mr Harris, who was appointed in 2024.
Fulford School was highlighted by The Independent as having the third best sixth form of all Comprehensive Schools in England. It has been suggested that this may be the reason why many pupils from independent schools have left the private sector and continued their studies at Fulford School.
In 2007, the school received the best A level results in York LEA area, and the third best in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, higher than four grammar schools.[citation needed]
In 2013, 80% of all pupils attained five GCSEs grade A* to C, including English and Mathematics. This is an increase of four percentage points since 2012.
In 2019 the school's GCSE results were above average, and the Progress 8 measure was well above average. In the same year, the average A level grade at the school was B, compared to B− across York and C+ nationally.
