What The Good Schools Guide says..
Lots going on to ensure that the individual is well catered for within the context of a big, high achieving school. There are certainly some very confident young people here and inclusion is at the heart of the vision - we saw plenty of evidence of a real commitment to high quality pastoral care. Very smart new uniform working its way through - blazers and ties have mostly been welcomed by the pupils although... Already a big school the plan is to grow to just shy of 2,000 pupils by 2026, with a significant new build just starting

Headteacher
Since 2019 executive head Steve Lewis (50s), previously executive head of Rushcliffe School in Nottingham, where his two now grown up children were pupils. Degree in mathematics from Staffordshire, he started his career at the Forest School, now Djanogoly Academy, in 1988, then spent two years in Zambia and five years at Christ the King School in Arnold before moving to Rushcliffe in 2001. His move to Fulford was spurred by the school’s successful history, its promotion on social mobility and potential for further growth as the lead school in a multi academy trust. Inclusion is at the heart of his vision, we saw plenty of evidence of a real commitment to high quality pastoral care and the school’s newly established inclusion centre showed determination that all children should be educated within their school...

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
