Fullbrook & Fullbrook 6

We're looking forward to seeing our fantastic students again.

A reminder that we are back in full winter uniform (shirts, ties and blazers). Students will be given their timetables on their return.

It's going to be a great year!

We can't wait to welcome our students back to school on Wednesday 4th September

We’re pleased to invite prospective families to Fullbrook School’s Open Evening on Thursday 26th September from 5:30-8:30pm.

Well done to all of our 6th formers on their A level results. Students have really thrived at F6 and the number of A and A* grades has almost doubled since last year! Good luck to all of our alumni on the next step at university, apprenticeships and work.

Amongst those smiling most (and where they're heading next) were:

Mirsad Abdullaev A*A*A*A (University of Oxford – Computer Science),
Matthew Herbert A*A*A (University of Bath – Economics)
Oliver Quibell A*AAA (University of Bath – Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering)
Daniel Wright A*A*AB (Newcastle University – Mathematics)
Freya Capper A*AA (University of Bath – Biology)
Harrison Cheney A*AA (University of Warwick – Management)
Nathan Jones AAA (University of Bristol – Business and Management)
Daniel Wass AAA (University of Sheffield – Chemical Engineering), Hannah Mitchell AAAB (Newcastle University – Ancient History and Archeology)
Sam Hiscocks AAB (University of Birmingham – Mathematics and Computer Science)

Congratulations to all of our amazing GCSE students on an exceptional set of results. We are incredibly proud of you all. You're ready for the next stages of your educational journey and we are really looking forward to seeing you in September as you start your A levels at F6!

Last term at our chew and do maths event, Year 8s were teaching our Year 7s how to answer Pythagoras Theorem and Trigonometry questions. These are topics that are taught in Year 8 and so the current Year 7s who attended the session will have the knowledge to support their learning.

It was a great atmosphere in the classroom and to see how well the students worked together was a joy to see.

Well done to all involved.

Message from the Chair of Governors

The Fullbrook Governing Body is made up of a committed and enthusiastic team of parents, staff and members of the local community. We have a collective responsibility for maintaining and improving the standards at Fullbrook and ensuring that students thrive and reach their full potential.

We are currently looking to expand the Governor team and would be interested in talking to any parents or members of the local community who might be interested in joining us. Previous experience is not required as full training will be provided. We would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested in supporting the school and has the flexibility to come on-site during the day sometimes as well as attend occasional evening or morning meetings. We need to make the Governing Body more reflective of the wider school community, so would particularly welcome interest from people who:
🎓 are recent-ish graduates
🌏 are from an ethnic-minority background
👩‍🏫 are former Fullbrook students
📈 run their own businesses
🛠 work in a trade
💻🥼 work in technology, IT, care or health sectors

For further information please visit the governors page of the school website or contact Holly Billingham, PA to Mr McKenzie, who will put you in touch with me via [email protected]

Many thanks

Please ensure students have sun cream, a hat and water bottle with them☀️

*Recycle polo shirts and old clothes*
As you are aware, the school polo shirt will no longer be part of school uniform from September 2024.

To reduce our waste and landfill, Fullbrook School's PTA, 'Friends of Fullbrook', have arranged for to collect all unwanted polo shirts from school on Friday 19 July. Please ask your child/ren to bring in a carrier bag with their unwanted polo shirts to the main entrance on Friday morning on their way in to school so that they can be disposed of responsibly.

Please note that if you cannot arrange this for Friday we are hoping to have a permanent textile bank on site for any clothes to be recycled going forward and to raise funds for our school through recycling. Thank you.

Tomorrow's weather is forecasted to be raining 🌧 which is not ideal for a full day of sports on the field!

Therefore the decision has been taken to move Sports Day to Wednesday 17 July. This will mean that you will attend lessons on Tuesday as a normal Day 7 and wear your PE kit to school for Sports Day on Wednesday.

Our school's Science Club has been busy with some super cool experiments and competitions this summer term, and we've got the photos to prove it!

We have had the classic elephant toothpaste experiment where the students mixed just the right chemicals to create a giant, foamy explosion. There have been rat dissections, rocket launches and an egg drop competition. Teams had to design the lightest container that could keep an egg from breaking when dropped from a height of four metres. It would be a lie to say that no eggs were broken during the competition, but most eggs landed safely. The winning team consisted of two girls who made a box weighing just 25 grams! In Science lessons students have also been enjoying using burettes to carry out titrations and making spaghetti towers, with two boys making the tallest tower of 82cm!

A special thank you to Ms Moodie-Henry, Ms Graham and Ms Vashist without whom these activities would not be possible and also to Mr Zaman for taking the photos. They are great snapshots of all the fun and learning that happens in the Science department at Fullbrook.

Amazing opportunity to join our Fullbrook Family!

We are seeking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant and a Senior Learning Support Assistant that is TEFL trained.

Uniform Swap Shop

We need your help!! Although, the Uniform Swap Shop does ask for students to swap uniform, we tend to end up with alot of smaller sizes. This is where our Year11 students can really help. A donation of all, or part, of their school uniform will help us with students needing the larger sizes as they grow. Don't worry if anything is missing, like buttons, we can sew on new ones. The Uniform Swap Shop only works with the help of donated uniform. have a supply of second hand uniform that is available to families who are struggling with the costs of buying items, or replacing things their child has outgrown.👔♻️

Our Year 12 Chemistry students completed the first round of a series of tasks as part of their entry in the Schools’ Analyst competition. They are assisting the local Trading Standards Office to investigate some unusual products on sale at the local “Super Sugar Candy Store”. Trading Standards officers suspect that some of the items contain ingredients that are restricted or are in the incorrect amounts. Our chemists need to use their skills as analytical chemists to determine whether the items are fit for consumption.

We were lucky enough to welcome back some of our ex-students to Fullbrook 6 yesterday. This gave our current year 12 students information about the routes they can take after college. From Apprenticeships to University and starting their own business' we are extremely proud of our students. If you would like to come to our Fullbrook 6 Open evening click https://www.trybooking.com/uk/DPAA to book
