Welcome to The Fulham Boys School

Welcome to The Fulham Boys SchoolThe Fulham Boys School is now entering its twelfth year, having opened in September 2014 with its first Year 7 pupils. We are delighted that we have become a school of first choice, oversubscribed in our purpose-built state-of-the-art school in the heart of Fulham.We are particularly proud of our academic achievement, with our GCSE students consistently achieving well beyond the national average. As a school, our Year 11 students are in the top 3% nationally. Our Sixth Form students have once again graduated with an impressive haul of qualifications and an exceptional depth of character, progressing to university, the working world and apprenticeships.FBS is a Free School, which means we are a publicly funded independent school. We embrace our independence, which is evident in the way we design our curriculum, structure our school day, appoint and retain our staff, manage our finances, and, above all, in our distinctive school ethos. It is an ethos that is geared towards boys, nurtures enterprise – business, social and personal – and is built upon the Christian Faith; an ethos which relies on strong leadership, is committed to firm discipline, academic excellence, a love of sport and an appreciation of the arts. It is an ethos that transcends ; for young men to be equipped for the challenges they will face and to thrive in the world. Moreover, FBS is more than just a school. We are a real cooperative. FBS is all our school and as such relies completely on total buy-in from parents, teachers, boys, governors and founders.Together, we believe we can fulfil our unswerving aim of becoming one of the best schools in this country, state or private.David SmithHeadmaster

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
All Sixth Formers are expected to be role models and active student leaders at the heart of the school – as mentors, Senior Prefects and in their school houses. Learning isn’t restricted to the classroom. Our Sixth Form builds on FBS’ founding belief that education is about so much more than the knowledge gained and the skills built in academic study. A broad and engaging co-curricular programme is critical to preparing students for life. That’s why at FBS it is ‘co-curricular’, not ‘extra-curricular’, and why it’s compulsory at Sixth Form.

Music and Drama
The school is passionate about music and drama and eager students will have the opportunity to participate in Drama productions, concerts, competitions and our annual Eisteddfod – a day of performances and House competitions for singing solo pieces, musical performances, acting and dancing.
The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Alongside Sixth Form studies, pupils can undertake the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). This is an opportunity to plan, research and carry out a project of their own choice (usually a piece of written work), while also evidencing the stages of the project development and presenting it once complete. The EPQ allows students to develop planning, research, analytical and problem solving skills, all of which will aid in preparation for Higher Education.
Give Back Get Back
All pupils take part in our Give Back, Get Back scheme, volunteering in the school and wider community. Boys help out in lessons, run co-curricular clubs, mentor younger students, support the school charity and more.
