Fulneck School was founded in 1753 by the Moravian Church and is situated in a valley between Leeds and Bradford in extensive grounds. In recent years the Grade 1 listed buildings have been complemented by new premises housing science laboratories, sports facilities and subject rooms.
It is open to pupils of all faiths and backgrounds. Day pupils are drawn from a wide area and there are special buses which serve the school.
The two boarding houses have been totally refurbished in the last two years. Use of the boarding facilities allows the provision of an extended day or temporary boarding to suit family needs.
Fulneck School, incorporating Nursery and Kindergarten, is co-educational. From 11-16, teaching of Senior Girls and Senior Boys is in single-sex groups. Our excellent GCSE results bear out the benefit of this. The Sixth Form then offers our students the opportunity to study together in preparation for university and professional careers.
The curriculum is central to the academic development of the pupils. In addition to the National Curriculum, all pupils at Fulneck are taught German, as well as French, from the age of 11. We also continue to teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics as three separate subjects throughout the Senior School in recognition of their importance. In the Sixth Form we offer a wide range of Advanced level subjects, together with new GCSE courses.
The School is committed to high personal standards; there is a programme of sound pastoral care and a firm but fair discipline policy.
Students are encouraged to develop their own characters by taking part in the wide range of extra-curricular activities; sports, music, drama, technology, charity and community projects all flourish.
Our aim is that Fulneck boys and girls leave as mature, confident and capable young men and women, with a positive attitude towards themselves and others.
