The Fulham Boys School is a Free secondary school for boys. Founded by local parents and teachers, it opened with its first Year 7 boys in September 2014 and now has almost 800 students.

As a Free school, FBS receives funding from the Department for Education. Free schools are accountable to the Department directly, rather than to the local authority, and have the freedom to set their own school terms and days, curriculum and staff pay and conditions. At FBS this is reflected in our longer school day, to allow for a full co-curricular programme, a curriculum geared to boys’ ways of learning and focused on developing their enterprise, and remuneration schemes designed to attract and retain some of the county’s most inspiring teachers.

Three vital ingredients make up the school’s ethos: Boys, Faith and Enterprise.

We have built a school that is geared towards Boys, built upon Christian principles and which nurtures Enterprise. FBS is focused on instilling a ‘can do’ culture: raising expectations of achievement and providing opportunity for boys from the local community to achieve success regardless of background, ethnicity and ability.
