It is an honour to welcome you to Fulston Manor School. We are a large non-selective school with an outstanding reputation for developing young people who make a positive contribution to their community. We are a welcoming school that operates as a family with a strong sense of pastoral care linked to our House system. We have four houses (Cromer, Hales, Morrison and Stanhope) in Year 7 to 11 with vertical tutor groups in each house. This means small numbers of each year group in each tutor group have a dedicated tutor who they see each day. The Sixth Form is a thriving environment for students Post 16 and we have outstanding facilities for students as well as excellent pastoral care and careers support to enables students to make the next steps into further education or employment. We offer a wide curriculum from Year 7 which allows young people to excel in all areas including the creative arts and students are encouraged to develop a love of learning and engage with their studies fully. The school ethos of “Everybody Matters, Everybody Succeeds, Everybody Helps” drives all that we do here to ensure our young people both achieve the best possible qualifications and also grow and develop their sense of self and their understanding of our world. We would welcome the opportunity to show you our school and if you are interested in visiting please do contact us.

After teaching at my previous school for 8 years, making the decision to move to Fulston Manor was a big one. Much like a new Year 7, I wondered what a new school would be like. What would the other staff be like? What would the students be like? Would I fit in? As soon as I started, I instantly knew I had made the right choice. The staff were so welcoming, the students were all eager to be there and before I knew it, I was a happy member of the Fulston family. I have always felt supported by everyone I work with, both in and outside the Maths department, and I can genuinely say, I enjoy coming into work and helping develop the lives of young people and watching them grow into mature young adults.

Hello, my name is Rhys Medwyn and I am now currently taking up the role of Head Boy at Fulston Manor School. I have attended Fulston for 5 years now, and during my time here I have been given endless support from both the teachers as well as my peers, helping me to shape who I am today. It has helped me focus on my confidence, perseverance as well as making new friends. Many opportunities have been presented to me during my time here, as well as roles I’ve taken on within the school. These include: Form Captain, House Prefect, White Badge Prefect, and Red Tie Prefect. These opportunities wouldn’t have been possible without my teachers. The staff at Fulston Manor are easy to communicate with, and they will always provide help and support when needed as well as providing us with extra resources that can help us with our learning. Fulston Manor also does a very good job at getting us ready for the future. The school teaches us how to maintain a good work ethic as well as building good relationships with the people around us. I have made many memories at this school too and we have been able to do this through the use of trips, like the French trip to Paris or Year 9 Camp at Stubbers. Students also have the choice to participate in events such as the Winter Concert. All of these opportunities have helped build on our skills, not only as students, but as individuals. I am extremely proud of the Fulston Manor community, and I am honoured fulfil the role of Head Boy at Fulston. I am excited to see what the future holds and how I can help around the school.”

Hello, my name is Vanessa Gbinigie and am the current Head Girl. Attending Fulston Manor School has been very enjoyable whilst allowing me to mature through the years as well as build on my confidence, resilience, and independence. I have had the opportunity of holding numerous roles including Red Tie Prefect, White Badge Prefect, House Prefect, Sports Captain, and White Tie (for dance). I feel supported as a student at Fulston Manor because the staff are empathetic and easy to communicate with. My teachers are dedicated and hold after school workshops which I have found to be very beneficial because they enable me to improve my understanding in my subjects. Fulston Manor has provided me with various opportunities to participate in fun and educational trips. I have fond memories of going to the Arras Christmas Market, World War One Battlefields of The Somme in France and Year 9 Camp at Stubbers Adventure Centre in Upminster. I also performed as part of a dance group and a choir ensemble in the Winter Concert. I have been able to develop my communication skills in dealing with my Peers, Teachers, Tutor and Head of House. I am honoured and very grateful to be given the position of Head Girl where I can continue to contribute to the Fulston Manor Community.

School is such a big part of many people’s life, and it’s no different for me, Michael, who became a student at Fulston Manor just under 3 months ago when I came from the end of my 7 years at Canterbury Road Primary. I found it hard to adapt for I had loved my experience at Canterbury Road and had never known of any other way of school life, however this fear quickly evaporated at the front doors, convincing myself that this was my new school. I am kind of embarrassed to say that I almost forgot Primary school was a thing. I favour no subject other the other for its the teachers which really bring this place of learning and imagination to life. I cannot recommend this school enough as I knew it was right for me when I took my first step on the doorstep.

We were delighted that our daughter attained a place in Fulston Manor’s highly sought-after sixth form and she quickly becoming a conscientious, confident and considerate adult. After mentioning her dream to travel the world, they facilitated her travels to Poland and Italy - and we have been able to host students from France and Italy ourselves too, which we would highly recommend! Every teacher at Fulston Manor is 100% supportive and happy to go out of their way to offer extra guidance, and the Sixth Form building is second to none! It has plenty of room to study, in a new, state-of-the-art building. Our twin boys are now in Year 7 and are guaranteed the best education methods and excellent pastoral support. The staff are very much role models at Fulston Manor, inspiring the students to become involved in new activities, raising money for charities and helping the local community. Students from all years also support and guide each other and this teaches them to be generous, compassionate and thoughtful. Coming to the end of their first year, the changes we’ve noticed in the boys is quite frankly astounding. As their sister travels to Italy for the summer, and then onto university in September, we are confident that the boys own achievements at Fulston Manor - and beyond - will be something to write home about too!
