leicester lo-fi photography community darkroom

We promote fine art and traditional photographic processes, through the provision of specialist knowledge and facilities, education and exhibitions. We started in 2011 with no place to call a home, but we managed to hold workshops and events at any place that would have us, and let us convert toilets and cupboards into darkrooms. Since then moved into accommodation and build a community darkroom, At the Manor House off Narborough Road. In April 2017, we were forced to vacated the Manor House and started to look for a new darkroom space. In December of the same year we opened our new darkroom at 376A Western Road – we spent a happy 2 years at Western Road, but time came to move on. We are now, as of the end of 2019, building a new darkroom space in the basement of the Methodist Church on Bishop Street. Look out for announcements on here and on Facebook and twitter of when we will be reopening. We’re a very social group and our evening sessions and workshops are very relaxed and informal, and a great place to come and learn new skills and techniques you might have never heard of.

Student Leadership and Voice Provision of opportunities for student leadership is a named intention on the whole-school development plan. In KS3, the Fullhurst Pledge provides all students with opportunities to enhance their leadership skills. In KS4, there are a range of leadership roles students can take on including becoming a sports leader, a peer to peer reading buddy or a prefect In addition to this, there are annual events upon which students lead, for example Anti-Bullying Week, charity events and Student Takeover Day. Prefects From the moment students join Fullhurst, we encourage them to aspire towards becoming a year 11 prefect. Prefects are selected on the basis of reflecting the key values of the school. We expect applicants to have very high attendance with exemplary punctuality, exceptional behaviour records and the highest standards of uniform. Similarly, their conduct in and around the college must be beyond reproach. We ask prefects to represent the school in many ways, including escorting visitors on tours of the site on open evening and parents frequently comment that they are a credit to the college. Prefects also provide invaluable support to younger pupils in particular, through supporting staff in their designated roles at lunchtime and helping to guide new pupils through the transition process.
