Vision and Ethos

Fullhurst Community College aim is to develop a national reputation for engaging the whole community in learning and for making learning relevant, exciting and challenging to every group and student within the school community.

Fullhurst will be committed to recognising, understanding and supporting students from all backgrounds and understanding their particular learning needs and style. It will also be committed to persistent and continuous improvement both for the organisation and for each and every student.

Fullhurst will foster a culture of achievement and aspiration. It will be a high achieving school committed to high rates of progression through to further and higher education and to developing a strong emphasis on employability and citizenship.

Fullhurst’s beliefs and values will be centred upon the principles of equality for its students, high standards, high expectations, excellent provision and a commitment to personalised learning. It will recognise and act on the need for early intervention with students in identifying and removing barriers to learning and progression. This commitment will enable standards of achievement and attendance to dramatically improve and be sustained.

In pursuit of these aims Fullhurst will:

• Welcome and embrace individual learners within a culture of high expectations, challenge and support for them to achieve their personal best.
• Respect the unique value and dignity of every student and celebrate their diversity, including learners of all faiths and no faith.
• Nurture the principle of inclusion as fundamental to every aspect of the school.
• Fully embrace the voice of students in the running of the school.
• Develop partnerships with the Local Authority, Primary Schools, Education Improvement Partnership, Higher/Further Education and Primary Care Trusts in Leicester.
• Build pathways of choice for students, promoting all types of learning and building strong links to work, further and higher education.
• Prepare students for the challenges of a dynamic economy with close links to the local and regional business community.
• Provide a healthy, safe and stimulating learning environment.
