Sport

Sport plays a formative role in individual personal development.  All our students are encouraged to participate in sport, whatever their aptitude and ability, and gain the personal benefits necessary for success not just in sport but in other fields:  improved physical fitness, self-respect and confidence, team awareness and leadership, determination and commitment.

We offer a wide range of sports providing the students with the chance to take part in individual and team games, aiming to develop students' sporting skills and knowledge of games.

Students have the opportunity to attend lunchtime and after school sports clubs. Fixtures are played on weekends and midweek. Talented students are offered the opportunity for further progression in district and county trials.   

During the Autumn Term, the boys' sports include Rugby, Health and Fitness, Basketball and Cross Country while the girls concentrate on Netball, Gymnastics and Badminton.

In the Spring Term the boys focus on Football, Volleyball and Badminton. The girls enjoy Hockey and Dance.

In the Summer Term the boys master the skills of Cricket, whilst the girls improve their competence at Rounders. Both boys and girls train in Athletics and Tennis.

Fulneck has had a number of County and National standard performers in the last few years. Recently Connor Spencer, who gained his international cap by representing England in the U16 Rugby League Team, is now a professional at Bradford Bulls in Super League.

In addition, Bryony Parker, a former Head Girl, secured a full football scholarship at a top university in the USA.
