Fullbrook School is a secondary school and sixth form in north west Surrey, England, United Kingdom. The school has held Specialist Mathematics and Computing College status since 2002. The school gained Grant Maintained status in the mid 1990s and was then given foundation status in 1999. Its main catchment areas are Byfleet, West Byfleet and New Haw with some pupils coming from Addlestone, Woking, Goldsworth Park and Sheerwater. The chair of the governing body was Dr Tony Little. There are around 250 students in the school's attached Sixth Form college and around 1550 in rest of the school years..[3]

Fullbrook was first established on its present site in 1954, when West Byfleet County Secondary School was divided into two as numbers at that school, due to post-war expansion, reached 747 in September 1953. Pupils living to the north of the line from Sheerwater Road, the Basingstoke Canal and then along the railway to West Weybridge (now Byfleet and New Haw) transferred to Fullbrook County Secondary School.
The initial cohort of teaching staff also came from West Byfleet. These included Mr. Wilfred H. Bean, B.Sc., the headmaster, Mrs. McGrath (Deputy), Miss Edwards, Miss Mullin, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Eldridge and Messrs. Blaushand, Davis, Drawneek, Eldridge, Evans, Payne, Wheeler. Mr. Bean, the school's first headmaster retired in 1968.
In 1976 West Byfleet County Secondary School closed and its pupils and teachers joined Fullbrook, merged to create the mixed school we are familiar with today.
The houses of the school have recently changed. Having previous been named after famous battles - Alamein, Blenheim, Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo; the houses are now formed from an entire school vote on a list of 50 house name ideas which were themed around the idea of Maths and Computing (the school's Specialist Subjects). The six that won were Newton (yellow), Cyber (blue), Enigma (red), Fibonacci (purple), Galileo (orange) and Matrix (green). Also, instead of tutor groups being entirely one house, tutor groups are now made up of students in the same house.
Last year, Fullbrook attained the 5th highest results in Surrey at GCSE level - an impressive rating. At A level, 99% passed, with 57% attaining A/B's. The school has many talented athletes, including a British Rower, and a number of nationally competitive runners.
