Fulston Manor School

Fulston Manor School is a secondary School with academy status in Sittingbourne, Kent. The head teacher is Mrs Susie Burden . It teaches years 7–13 (11- to 18-year-olds).

Fulston Manor School is a larger-than-average secondary school. It is a non-selective school in a local authority where high numbers of schools select pupils by ability. The school forms part of the Fulston Manor Academies Trust (FMAT) with South Avenue Primary School.

The previous headteacher, Alan Brookes was a national leader of education. The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage. About a quarter of pupils in the school are eligible for support from the pupil premium (additional government funding), which is broadly in line with the national average while The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is below average. The school meets the Department for Education's definition of a coasting school based on key stage 4 academic performance results in 2015 and 2016.

As of 2014, the lower school has an annual intake of 210 students at the beginning of Year Seven (age 11).

The school uses a vertical house system rather than traditional year/age based groups where every student is assigned to one of the four houses: Cromer (blue), Hales (red), Stanhope (yellow) and Morrison (green).

The school uniform consists of a black blazer accompanied with the school badge on the breast pocket, with grey trousers and a white shirt. Socks may either be black or grey. Shirts must be worn with a tie, which varies according to the house in which the student is placed. Girls may also wear a scarlet v-neck jumper to accompany the blazer.

This is non-selective mixed school in an area with single sex grammar schools. Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification- this must include core subjects, a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography.

With those constrains the curriculum aims to provide a framework which translates the values of the school into high-quality teaching so that all students of all abilities to reach their full potential. This includes those identified as having special educational needs. It is not solely about the National Curriculum but embraces informal leaning and the co-curriculum.
