Fullbrook School

About Fullbrook School

Fullbrook School is a mixed, non-denominational secondary in Runnymede that currently educates 1,367 pupils against a capacity of 1,588, so it is operating below its maximum but still drawing strong demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 250 places and received 425 total applications, an oversubscription ratio of 1.7, with 204 offers going to first-preference applicants out of 205 first-preference applications. That level of competition suggests a school that local families actively want. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.6%, which is slightly above the national average for secondary schools and indicates a reasonably mixed socioeconomic intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Anna Wallis. It includes a sixth form, so pupils can stay on from Year 7 through to Year 13 without needing to move elsewhere.

Academically, Fullbrook’s Progress 8 score is -0.12, which places it in the ‘Average’ band nationally and ranks it 43rd out of 66 schools in Surrey. That score is below the local authority average of 0.26, meaning pupils here make slightly less progress than peers across the county. In the 2023/24 GCSE results, the Attainment 8 score was 52.2, and 65.8% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc entry rate was high at 84%, though only 27.3% of pupils achieved the EBacc at grade 5 or above. At A-level, the average points per entry was 28.96, equivalent to a grade C, and the value-added score was exactly 0, which is in line with the national average. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was judged to remain Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 also gave an overall Good rating.

Fullbrook offers a solid range of facilities including a sports hall, theatre, art studios, music rooms, a sixth form centre and a library. Sports on offer include rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis, athletics and martial arts, and there are clubs covering chess, drama, eco issues, science, book club, Young Enterprise and debate. The school’s SEND provision is broad, covering specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. For families weighing up options in Runnymede, Fullbrook is a popular choice that is oversubscribed but not as high-performing as the top three schools in the local authority, which all have Progress 8 scores above 0.9. It suits families who want a large, inclusive secondary with a sixth form and a wide co-curricular offer, and who are comfortable with progress outcomes that sit around the national average.
