To go alongside the video of finding your way around school and help you visualise the school site, here is a simplified map 
You can see the five main buildings and where they are in relation to the school entrance and canteen. The classrooms all have a number and are named according to the building they are in. We hope to show you more photos and videos of the school site in the next few weeks.
If you can think of any others you want answering, don’t hesitate to get in contact by sending an email to Year6transition@fulford.york.sch.uk.

Tasks to Complete Before You Join in September’24
Starting secondary school is a really exciting time. Here at Fulford we want you to feel prepared and ready to embrace the many fantastic opportunities that will come your way. Below are a set of weekly tasks that we are encouraging you to complete to help build your confidence and resilience in preparation for starting with us in September. Most importantly they will help you develop a positive attitude and allow you to ‘Be Awesome’.
The idea of ‘Be Awesome’ is based on ideas that originate from a book written by Matthew Syed called ‘You Are Awesome’. This is a fantastic book which we would encourage you to read. It would help you to understand some of the tasks and prepare you for some of the challenges you will face at Fulford.
Once you have completed the task you can email it through to Year6transition@fulford.york.sch.uk. We look forward to reading your responses and getting to know more about you.

The Science department have asked Year 6 students to complete a couple of transition tasks before starting at Fulford in September. These shouldn’t take long and are intended to review some of the key principles from Key Stage 2 that the students will be building on in Year 7. These can be completed any time between now and September and any student who hands the completed work to their Science teacher when they come to Fulford will be entered for our first ‘Student of the Month’ award.
