About Fullhurst Community College

Fullhurst Community College is a large, mixed secondary school in Leicester that is currently operating at full capacity with 1,512 pupils against a stated capacity of 1,500. The school serves a notably diverse intake, with 37.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average and a strong indicator of the community it draws from. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 322 applications for 238 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.35. Of those, 195 families put Fullhurst as their first preference, and all 195 were offered a place. That level of first-choice demand suggests the school holds a solid reputation locally, even if it isn't among the highest-performing schools in the city on academic measures. The school has no sixth form, so pupils leave at 16, and it has no religious character.
