Vision, Values & Ethos
Fulbrook’s Vision
At the heart of the local community, Fulbrook’s vision is that every single young person who joins the school is offered all the opportunities to Learn, Experience and Achieve what they need and want, to build a fulfilled life.
Learn
At Fulbrook, everyone is encouraged and inspired to learn together – students, teachers, parents, carers and surrounding schools.
This is done through:
- A focus on the individual needs of all students, whatever their abilities or backgrounds
- The highest quality learning and teaching methods, leading to excellent academic outcomes of our young people
- A broad and bespoke range of subjects and extra-curricular opportunities that are inspiring and tailored to the needs of students and their live;
- Regular opportunities for dialogue between staff, students, their families and our partnership of schools, to influence the learning of all involved
- Up-to-date facilities, including four science laboratories, a sports hall, a drama studio and a suite of music rooms, with outdoor spaces focused on nature and the environment
- Learning through doing, including time throughout the day for clubs, societies and extra classes, as well as learning experiences offered by and with local people and organisations
Experience
Fulbrook is a joyful, kind and hard-working community, where students enjoy learning, and flourish in an inspiring environment.
This is done through:

- Being a school for life, not just during the time of being a Fulbrook student, but forever – setting up young people for their future life
