[edit] Performance

Fulford School was highlighted by The Independent as having the third best sixth form of all Comprehensive Schools in England. ^[1] It has been suggested that this may be the reason why many pupils from fee-paying Independent Schools have been leaving the private sector and electing to continue their studies at Fulford School. ^[2]

[edit] Millennium Volunteers

A group of students from the school, working with students from University of York won the Regional Millennium Volunteer of the Year Team Award in 2007 for their work in renovating a youth room for young people. ^[3]

[edit] Expansion

An increase in the number of pupils on roll led to extensive building programme in 2003 worth £3.5 million, which has added several new specialist classrooms to the school.^[4] The addition of specialist status in Maths and Computing has also facilitated the improvement of ICT facilities in the school. An enhanced resource centre was added to the school in 2006 ^[5] to allow the school to offer ten places to students who suffer from Autism and Asperger syndrome.
