Fullhurst Community College is an over-subscribed 11-16 comprehensive school in Braunstone, West Leicester. In January 2018 Ofsted graded the school ‘Good’, which reflects the continued improvements the school has made and the record summer examinations results over the last 3 years. The current Acting Principals are Mr Chris Heal and Mrs Christina Bailey.
Fullhurst opened in 1991 following the closure of King Richard III School and Newarke School.[citation needed] It was initially located on the King Richard site while a significant refurbishment of the Newarke site took place. It moved into the Newarke buildings in 1992. After this, the college received funding from the Building Schools For The Future programme. Under this, Fullhurst retained its 1930's red bricks and clocktower, and was combined with a new, glass building and 21st century facilities to allow students to thrive. Recently, Fullhurst has inhabited Ellesmere College's old building, and turned it into a £15 million new campus to house Year 7 and Year 8 students, also allowing the college to expand its student population to 1500 from September 2020.
The school has also won awards such as the Department For Education Pupil Premium Secondary Champion, Leicester Mercury School Of The Year, and finalists for the Pearson's 2018 National School Of The Year.
