Fullhurst Community College opened in 1991 following the closure of King Richard III School and Newarke School.[citation needed][1] It was initially located on the King Richard site while a significant refurbishment of the Newarke site took place. It moved into the Newarke buildings in 1992. After this, the college received funding from the Building Schools For The Future program. Under this, DRCC retained its 1930s red bricks and clocktower and was combined with a new, glass building 2 with 1st-century facilities to allow students to thrive. Recently, DRCC has inhabited Ellesmere College's old building and turned it into a £15 million new campus to house Year 7 and Year 8 students, also allowing the college to expand its student population to 1500 from September 2020.[2]

The school has also won awards such as the Department For Education Pupil Premium Secondary Champion, Leicester Mercury School Of The Year, and finalists for Pearson's 2018 National School Of The Year.[2]
