Introduction Welcome
We are very excited that you and your son will be joining the FBS community and hope that you will find the information contained in this Welcome Pack useful before your son’s start date. The pack is designed to give you further insight and understanding into the way the school works on a daily basis to ensure your son’s transition to this school is a smooth and positive one.
Three vital ingredients make up the school’s ethos. We aim to build 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.
FBS will deliver this through:
teaching strategies aimed at raising achievement for boys high standards of pastoral care an academic curriculum that will equip FBS boys to apply for Russell Group universities a commitment to developing entrepreneurial flair, skills and habits in FBS boys, to serve the community as well as their later economic well-being making sport central to school life a wide range of co-curricular and vocational activities a powerful partnership between school, parents and community firm discipline and clear boundaries with high standards of uniform, behaviour, attendance and punctuality.
To achieve these aims parental engagement is essential. It is important to us that two way communication with parents / guardians is established and maintained throughout the year. Hopefully this pack will ensure you know who is the right person to contact for different situations, but whatever happens please rest assured that your feedback, suggestions and ideas are always welcome as we strive to become one of the very best schools in this country - state or private.
Our school website also contains all the vital information you may require including all of our school policies and an up-to-date calendar of school events.

Communication at FBS
Communication is very important to us at FBS. Our main way of communicating with home is via email and your son’s Conduct Card. We also email out a weekly bulletin to keep you informed of what is happening at FBS. This is sent every Thursday about the week ahead and Mr Ebenezer writes a weekly blog on the school website http://www.fulhamboysschool.org/news-category/headmasters-blog/ and tweets @AlunEbenezer.
In case of an emergency, we will call parents on their mobile, home or work numbers. It is therefore imperative that we have your up to date contact details at all times. We ask parents to advise the school of any changes to their contact information.
Your son will be issued with a Conduct Card which he has to have on his person at all times (apart from in PE).
On this card teachers will record any behaviour infringements on one side and House Points on the other. You will also be able to track your son’s progress by accessing the Parent Portal on the school’s Management Information System. Login details and instructions for using Parent Portal will be sent out in July. Whole school letters, sports fixtures, upcoming events are all posted on our website www.fulhamboysschool.org
Parents wishing to report their child’s absence should call the general number (020 7381 7100) before 8am if possible and select the absence line.
If you wish to discuss an issue, please ask to speak to your son’s Head of House in the first instance. Please note that Heads of House are also teaching and may not always be available when required. We therefore advise to also email Heads of House. For any other issues, please contact the school office. Unfortunately it is not possible to pass on messages to your children during school hours.

The School The Christian Ethos at FBS
The Christian ethos is at the heart of The Fulham Boys School. It is one of the three ‘pillars’ of the school (faith, boys, enterprise) and is one of the underpinning factors in everything we do.
The role and vision of the Christian ethos can be summarised in four basic points:
1) Everyone will learn about Christian values, as described in the Bible and demonstrated perfectly by Jesus Christ. We will try to follow them as a community in everything we do. 2) Everyone will have regular and varied opportunities to learn about the main beliefs of Christianity and the claims of Jesus Christ. 3) Everyone will have the opportunity and will be encouraged to think and ask questions about these beliefs and claims. Everyone will be able to give their own view in response, whatever that may be. 4) The Christian ethos will have an impact on every area of school life, be that assemblies, form times, lessons, break and lunchtimes, sports afternoons or any other time. It will have an impact on learning, behaviour, pastoral care and pupil and staff welfare. 5) When an individual or group visits the school we would expect them to clearly see these four points in action. The Chaplain leads on the Christian ethos in the school, although it is supported by all staff.
Christian values and beliefs around the school FBS is a community shaped by Christian values and characteristics. We therefore use a list of Christian values as a foundation for teaching the boys about Christian character and development. ● Every half term has a dedicated Christian value (e.g. Compassion). There are assemblies and reflection times that link to this Christian value. ● More detailed Christian value posters are displayed in specific areas around the school. These will explain the Christian values, how they point to Jesus and how they could be seen in action in FBS. ● Teachers regularly draw attention to the Christian values in lessons (e.g. discussing serving others or community when boys mark each other’s work). ● Staff regularly refer to the Christian values when doing follow-up to an incident of poor behaviour or mentoring a boy.
Boys should be aware of what Christianity and the Bible has to say about the subject they are studying and so teachers will make links with Christian viewpoints whenever possible. This will not happen in every lesson but will happen when good opportunities arise.
Regular events Chaplain’s assemblies – once a week boys will go to the hall in their house groups where they will sing a Christian hymn (with passion!), hear a talk from the Bible on Christian things and there will be a prayer. The Chaplain is responsible for these assemblies and will either give the talk (normally involving interaction with the boys) or ‘host’ the assembly while a visiting church leader gives the talk. The talks in assembly are normally focused on one of three ‘strands’:
- A theme (e.g. ‘people who encountered Jesus’) or a book from the Bible (e.g. Exodus). - The Christian value of the half term - Christians who have had an impact on the world
Other talks focus on events in the news or in the Christian calendar.
Form times – During form times boys will spend time either in a short time of silence reflecting on a Bible verse, quote or prayer or doing an extended reflection where they discuss, with their form tutor, the Christian value of the half term using resources provided by the Chaplain.
Christian Unions (CUs) – There are a number of CUs that happen during the week. These are at lunchtime and entirely optional but are very popular. Boys get to discuss issues or parts of the Bible in a fun and informal way. Some CUs are for particular year groups and some are bigger, joint events (e.g. Big Question or Dig Deeper into Theology).
Chaplaincy prefects
Chaplaincy prefects apply for the role at the start of the year and are used to:
- Support the running of the year-group CUs - Act as a pupil ‘sounding board’ for the Chaplain. - Take part in school assemblies and church services - Act as role models around the school. - Look out for boys who might be lonely or upset.
School prayer meetings
Every term after school there is a school community prayer meeting that staff, parents and governors are invited to. The Chaplain gives a brief thought from the Bible and the needs of the school community are then prayed for. Everyone is welcome.
There is also a parents’ prayer meeting that meets fortnightly during the school day.
Links with local churches FBS has good links with a number of local churches. Their church leaders often come in to take assemblies. These churches currently include both Anglican churches and churches from other denominations.
● St Andrew’s ● St Peter’s ● All Saints’ ● St Dionis’ ● St Matthew’s ● Twynholm Baptist ● St Alban’s ● Hungarian Reformed Church ● Trinity West ● St Simon’s ● The Globe Church ● All Souls, Langham Place ● Holy Trinity Brompton Formal Services
There are five formal services during the academic year when the whole school body meets for a service that is longer and with more content than weekly assemblies. The five services are:
● Start of Year Service (September) ● Remembrance Day (November) ● Carol Service (December) ● Easter Service (March/April) ● End of Year Service (July)
The school prayer
Almighty God, We thank you for creating this wonderful world, For the gifts and abilities you’ve given each of us, And the opportunity we have to learn and to grow. Please work through the power of your Spirit, Developing in us the Christian values shown perfectly in your Son, Jesus Christ. Make us enterprising in all we do, Moulding us into people of character who will make a positive contribution to society. Give us attentive ears to listen, willing hearts to learn, and ready wills to obey. And show us more of the truth about your glorious Son: his life, death, resurrection, reign and relevance. In his name we pray, Amen

Attendance and Punctuality
At the Fulham Boys School we believe that regular attendance is essential to ensure every boy makes progress in all subjects and is able to reach their full potential. The attendance of all boys is monitored weekly and we are keen for the school to work actively with parents and carers to ensure a regular pattern of attendance is maintained.
There is irrefutable evidence to show the link between a student’s attendance at school and their attainment. This evidence shows that there will be an impact on your child’s education if attendance is not consistently above 95% throughout a pupil’s schooling. At FBS we are aiming for outstanding attendance of 97% or higher.
The table below provided by the Department for Education shows that KS4 students who miss between 10% and 15% of school sessions have only about one in three chances of achieving grades 9 - 4 in 5 or more GCSEs including English and Maths. A high price to pay for taking one day off every fortnight!

Achievement of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 by levels of overall absence across the key stage
Absences are monitored daily and we are working actively with parents and carers to help overcome any obstacles to maintaining regular pattern of attendance. Keeping your son off school with minor ailments such as a headache or slight cold is not acceptable. Please rest assured that staff will contact you if they feel that your son is not well enough to be in school during the day. If there are any ongoing medical conditions or circumstances which may affect your son’s attendance that we are unaware of, please inform us promptly either in writing or via a phone call. Absences of more than 3 days must be supported by a medical note.
In the unlikely event that your son is unable to attend school we ask that you: Telephone the school’s absence line before 8am to inform us each day of the student’s absence Provide a written explanation for his absence when he returns to school, this should be given to his form tutor or emailed to [email protected] (absences will be marked as unauthorised until a note has been provided)
100% attendance and punctuality is rewarded weekly with a House point and termly with certificates at the celebration assembly. Students with best improved attendance are celebrated to recognize their dedication and perseverance. But perhaps, the most fun activity is the FBS Bacon-tendance race. Each Half term the House with the best attendance is treated to freshly made bacon buns for breakfast. Punctuality also plays a vital role at FBS. We want our boys to learn the importance of being on time and ready to learn every day. The school gates open at 8am (Gibbs Green entrance) and 7.45am (Beaumont Ave for Breakfast Club) each day and the boys are expected on site no later than 8:25am when we ring the bell and the Forms line up for registration.
Boys who are late to school due to controllable circumstances (traffic, poor organization, etc.) will be issued a conduct signature.
All our procedures aim to equip your son with skills he will utilise in the future. Being on time is one of such skills.
With your son's academic progress being our upmost priority and your support, we are confident that your son will reach his most ambitious academic targets. FBS Behaviour System
Exceptional behaviour is at the heart of a brilliant education
At FBS we are determined to set and maintain the highest standards of discipline and instil in our boys the most important discipline of all, self-discipline. We aim to do this in five ways:
1. Firmly. We insist upon the highest standards of uniform, attendance, punctuality, manners and conduct and take a no nonsense approach to bullying, drug misuse, violence and other dangerous and anti-social behaviour. We have put in place the most serious consequences for such offences. 2. Consistently. We uphold these standards lesson in lesson out, day in day out, week in week out; ensuring that nothing gets missed or is allowed to slip. 3. Proactively. We have a team of staff who are committed to the safety and happiness of our boys and show this commitment by being there for them at break and lunchtimes; as they arrive at school in the mornings and by ensuring they go home safely at the end of the school day. 4. Pastorally. We understand that growing up in today’s world isn’t always easy and our boys, some in particular, face real pressures and difficulties. Over the coming months and years we genuinely look forward to getting to know them - over lunch every day, in clubs, in lessons, on school trips; building their confidence and creating an environment where they feel able to share their worries and concerns and trust us to help them sort them out. Furthermore, we hope that by getting to know the boys we will pick up on issues and sense when things just aren’t right. 5. Positively. The school is built upon Christian principles which will run through everything we do. Boys observe and are taught Christian values – kindness, fairness, honesty, unselfishness, self-control and being a good neighbour. Our hope is that the boys will adopt these values and model them in their own lives.
Recording and celebrating positive behaviour
All Fulham Boys receive a new conduct card each half term. This is a vital piece of equipment and should be carried by them at all times. On one side they can copy their lesson timetable and teachers are able to record House Points for positive contributions. House Points are awarded for things such as: ✓ Exceptional work ✓ Consistently exceptional effort ✓ Service to school ✓ Outstanding own work ✓ Demonstrating enterprise skills ✓ Social enterprise ✓ Demonstrating Christian values ✓ Representing the school ✓ 100% attendance ✓ Excellent participation in co-curricular activities ✓ 3 merit stamps (awarded by class teachers for very good work) Awards for gaining house points as well as other examples of exceptional effort, behaviour or achievement are given in the following ways: ✓ Weekly Boys of the Week in each House ✓ Headmaster’s commendation ✓ Postcards home ✓ Phone calls home ✓ Recognition in House or Whole School assembly ✓ Form Boy of the Week ✓ Termly Boy of the House ✓ House Captain Boy of the Term
There is a celebration assembly to recognise achievement and progress at the end of each term and an annual awards evening held towards the end of the summer term each year.
Recording and sanctioning negative behaviour
The reverse of the conduct card is used to record conduct signatures for negative behaviour. These could be awarded for: ➢ Failing to bring the correct equipment ➢ Failing to hand in ownwork ➢ Lateness ➢ Low-level disruption in school ➢ Poor attitude ➢ Misbehaviour at break or lunchtime ➢ Incorrect uniform ➢ Failing to bring the correct sports kit ➢ Misuse of ICT
Both House Points and Conduct Signatures are also recorded electronically and are reported each term to parents on the parent portal as part of the school report.
Conduct signatures result in detentions cumulatively in the following way:
2 signatures 10 minute detention 4 signatures 15 minute detention 6 signatures 20 minute detention 8 signatures 30 minute detention 10 signatures 45 minute detention 12 signatures 1hr 15 minute detention with Headmaster on Friday afternoon 16 signatures 1hr 15 minute detention with Headmaster on Friday afternoon 20 signatures 2.5 hour Saturday detention 10-12.30
Detentions up to and including 45 minutes are served on the same day and parents are automatically notified by 2pm by text if their son has a detention in these circumstances. If a boy is placed in Headmaster’s or Saturday detention parents receive 24 hour notice via email. Sanctions that result in missing lessons As we strive to set and maintain the highest standards of discipline and instil self-discipline in all FBS boys there are a number of schools rules that if broken could result in the boys being placed in the Pupil Support Class and in some cases issued with external exclusions.
➔ Haircut infringements: at FBS we have a strict uniform and appearance policy. If boys fail to adhere to the policy and get inappropriate haircuts they will be taught in the Pupil Support Class separately from the rest if the school. If boys repeatedly fail to conform to the haircut policy they may face a fixed term exclusion.
➔ Uniform infringements: at FBS we have a strict uniform and appearance policy and expect all boys to wear their school uniform properly and with pride every day. If boys fail to wear the correct uniform they will be taught separately in the Pupil Support Class. In the case of school ties and school shoes we do offer a one day’s leniency where we will loan the correct uniform for the day which boys then serve an hour’s detention for.
➔ Bringing the school into disrepute: if boys fail to follow the behaviour code on the way to and from school, such as being disruptive on the bus or going to take-away shops on the North End Road. We strongly believe that boys should go straight home from school and not be hanging around in shops near school.
➔ Defiance: boys who fail to follow instructions from any member of staff may be picked up through an SLT call-out. Being polite and respectful to all members of the school community is extremely important and we believe that firm sanctions for rudeness and defiance are non-negotiable.
➔ Violence: boys who display any physical aggression will receive a serious sanction. In some cases this will result in an external fixed term exclusion but in less serious cases a day in the Pupil Support Class where the boys can reflect on their actions and take part in restorative conversations to ensure a positive move forward.
At the start of year 7 we allow the boys a 2 week period of grace that allows them to get used to our exceptionally high expectations. We know that during this time boys may struggle with their organisation, punctuality and understanding exactly what is expected. Form Tutors and Heads of House will reiterate the expectations daily during this time ensuring the boys are dealt with in a nurturing way that supports their transition to becoming a Fulham Boy.
If the decision is made to place a boy in the Pupil Support Class parents will be informed via email which clearly states the reasons and the time boys will be dismissed from school.
It is vitally important that we have parental support in maintaining these high standards to give FBS boys the best possible chances of succeeding in their future lives. Reporting at FBS
Frequency of reports:
At FBS we will report your son’s progress levels twice per year, these reports will follow a formal examination week. One report will follow the Autumn term exams, the second will follow the end of year exams. The exams take place at the following times:
Examinations Round 1 Year group Exam week
Year 7&8 6th - 16th January
Year 9&10 2nd December
Year 11 6th - 16th January
Year 12 20th January
Examinations Round 2 Year group Exam week
Year 7,8&9 8th June
Year 10 27th April
Year 12 1st June
What is reported:
The report includes a grade for his most recent examination in each subject. This grade is levelled from 1 to 9 in line with the GCSE grading system. Boys are expected to make one grade of progress each year (although this can be exceeded) which means if he achieves a grade 2 at the end of year 7 he will be on track to achieve at grade 6 in his GCSE.
Boys are also given a score from 1 to 5 in three key areas: Effort, Behaviour and Ownwork in each subject. 1 = Unacceptable 2 = Coasting 3 = Good 4 = Excellent 5 = Outstanding
As one of our three pillars we also report on how enterprising your son has been in every subject he studies. This is rated Bronze, Silver and Gold which relates directly to his enterprise log. In each subject he is required to contribute enterprise evidence towards his enterprise log and as part of the report each teacher will judge how well he is achieving towards this in their subject area.
Parent Consultations:
At FBS we believe that meeting with parents regularly to discuss the progress of the boys is essential. This is why as well as reporting progress grades we will invite you to school twice in the year for a full parent consultation where you will have the chance to meet with all of your son’s teachers. This is the opportunity to discuss his behaviour, attitude and learning as well as agree how you can work with us by supporting him at home to meet his potential.
These meetings are booked through a system called CHQ which allows you to pick your preferred time slots with each teacher. This booking system is opened well in advance of the days and you will be notified via the weekly Headmasters bulletin.
It is vitally important that someone attends parents consultation for every boy at school. Please ensure you have noted down the following dates and are able to arrange time off work or childcare arrangements in order to attend.

Friends of Fulham Boys School
Friends of FBS exists to bring together everyone with an interest in FBS: parents, pupils, staff and the school’s wider community. It’s the school’s ‘social network’ - lead by parents, relying on parent volunteers to organise events and always eager to hear from anyone with ideas, expertise or encouragement to help the Friends - and FBS - on its way.
The transition from primary to secondary school can be pretty daunting for parents. There’s considerably less opportunity for day-to-day contact with other parents and for the informal conversations that help smooth the way. So, Friends organises activities such as a new parents’ welcome drinks and ad-hoc coffee mornings, alongside a roster of events including a quiz night, a staff celebration (an annual feast fast becoming a highlight of the staff calendar), a fair or two, film nights, occasional talks and as a grand finale to the school year, the FBS-tival.
This year Friends have introduced the use of Classlist to FBS parents/carers. Classlist is an app that makes it easier for parents to find each other and to engage with the FBS community. Using an email address already known to the school, please sign up here: https://www.classlist.com/
Friends isn’t a typical PTA. We do have an annual fundraising target but since the academic year 2017/18 the main responsibility for school fundraising has fallen to The FBS Foundation. Think of it more as a community of friends – with a network of supportive contacts, advice and skills that other parents and the school can draw on, that’s totally reliant on parents helping the school onward on its ambitious journey.
Visit the Friends’ website for information about what’s going on http://www.friendsoffbs.org/ and if you’d like to volunteer time, be a class rep, share ideas with Friends or if you just want to find out a bit more about Friends - please email [email protected]

Curriculum FBS Own Work
At The Fulham Boys School we have adopted the phrase “own work” instead of homework. This is for two main reasons: To develop in boys a sense of ownership and pride in the work they produce and to embed the idea that work outside of lessons does not have to be done at home, it can also be completed in school during self-study time, prep or lunchtime.
The purpose of own work is:
To reinforce a sense of discovery and excitement in learning. To encourage boys to develop an independent approach to learning. To develop self-discipline and good learning habits. To enable boys to complete and consolidate school work. To offer opportunities for pursuing topics in detail, reinforcing personal interests and ideas. To use materials and other sources of information not always available in the classroom. To allow practice of skills learned in the classroom. To involve parents in their son’s work.
Own work is set using Google Classroom so that boys can use their chromebooks to complete work, access necessary resources, contact their teachers and peers for support and submit work when it is completed.
Google Classroom also enables boys to monitor their own work deadlines using the classroom calendar. All parents and guardians will have access to Google Classroom as a “Guardian” so that you can also see the work set and all relevant deadlines.
Parents can help with own work by:
Helping their son organise his time to best advantage so that things are not left to the last minute or forgotten.
Try to make sure that there are suitable working conditions at home – a place that is relatively quiet, undisturbed and well lit, away from the television.
Take a positive and active interest in their son's work at home rather than just insisting that it is done.
Let the school know if there are problems with own work that you cannot resolve. Perhaps there seems to be too much set, or maybe not enough, or is finding it too easy or too difficult. Contact the boys form teacher or Head of House in the first instance. There will be evening sessions for parents offered in Autumn term to give you advice and guidance on using Google Classroom and how best to support your son’s ownwork. Literacy at FBS
At FBS we recognise that good literacy skills are essential both to achievement at school and to a successful life in general. As well as teaching you specific subject content, your teachers will ensure that you develop the communication, reading and writing skills needed for life beyond FBS. We believe that ‘real men read’ and you will notice that this is a school that values reading achievement as highly as success on the rugby field or a musical accomplishment. RealMenRead is used throughout the school to foster a love of reading in all FBS boys. In Lessons Literacy is not just something you can expect to find in your English lessons. In all of your subjects, the ability to read and write will be key to your success. Even in practical subjects such as PE, the GCSE exam is 60% written so it is vital that these skills are mastered. Every term each subject will set you an extended writing task to consolidate your learning and help improve your literacy skills. These tasks will teach you how to write to persuade, discuss, instruct, inform, explain and recount. In the Library Our Library is ‘built for boys’ with each of the texts hand-picked to appeal to boys of your age. We pride ourselves of stocking the latest popular series such as ‘The Maze Runner’, ‘The Recruit’ and ‘The Young Samurai’. As well as these series we have classic books to stretch the most able readers and shorter reads to build the confidence of boys who find reading more of a struggle. There is something for everyone and our librarian is available every break and lunchtime to help you find a book to inspire you. You are allowed to borrow one book at a time for up to two weeks, but we will let you renew the book if you bring it in and ask. Having a reading book is a compulsory part of your equipment so make sure you visit the Library as soon as you can. Accelerated Reader You will be enrolled on the ‘Accelerated Reader’ programme to ensure that you are reading books appropriate for your reading age. Once you sit an initial test, you will be given your ‘ZPD’ which is a number that corresponds to a code on the spine of our library books. When you finish a book, there is a short quiz to test your understanding. Boys who have passed an impressive amount of quizzes, such as our ‘reading millionaires’, are rewarded with certificates at celebration assemblies. Accelerated Reader will make sure that you are making the most of your reading. Part of the Culture You will notice that reading is a real part of the culture at FBS. Each member of staff displays on their classroom door the book they are currently reading so make sure you ask them about it. We will organise author visits during the year and we had Chris Bradford, author of the ‘Young Samurai’ series in school recently. On World Book Day normal lessons are taken over by lessons relating to books and staff run competitions and activities to promote reading. You will also be invited to Lads and Dads three times a year to celebrate a love of reading at home as well as in school. Additional Learning Needs
How does The Fulham Boys School meet the individual needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs? This really depends upon the nature of your child’s needs and difficulties with learning. However, in line with the SEN Code of Practice 2015, initial support is focused within the classroom with the emphasis on the teacher, using strategies suggested by SEN team, ensuring progress of the pupil alongside their peer group. High quality teaching, differentiated for individual pupils, is the first step in responding to pupils who have or may have SEN and an appropriately differentiated curriculum, led by the teacher, will meet the needs of most pupils.
Some pupils, however, will require provision that is additional to or different from their peers, to meet their needs at a particular time. This provision is often referred to as ‘intervention’ and is frequently delivered away from the classroom by Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) or professionals from outside agencies.
Interventions At The Fulham Boys School we offer a range of interventions to develop pupils’ academic and social skills. At FBS, we believe that the boys need to be in lessons as much as possible with the expert teacher. Therefore we try to limit the interventions that happen during lesson time and use other times of the day. Some interventions happen in the morning between 8.20-8.40, although most of our interventions happen during the co-curricular time.
If a student is placed in an intervention/support group, it will usually take place over two half terms as research shows it takes around 8-10 weeks to fully embed an intervention.
How can I let the school know I am concerned about my child’s progress in school? If you have concerns about your child’s progress speak to the subject teacher or form tutor in the first instance. If you are not happy with this then the next step would be to speak to the SENCO, Miss Adams by either emailing [email protected] or ringing the school.
How will the school let me know if they have any concerns about my child’s learning in school? ● When a teacher has raised concerns about a child’s progress and targeted quality teaching has not met the child’s needs, the teacher must raise this with the SENCO. ● The school will then contact you to arrange a meeting to discuss the issues and the possible next steps. How are the teachers in school helped to work with children with SEN and what training do they have? The SENCO’s job is to support the class teacher in planning for children with SEN. ● All staff have access to strategies for particular types of learning needs and how best to support and differentiate for within the classroom. ● Each child on the SEN register will have an IEP (Individual Education Plan) which gives more individual detailed strategies on the best way to ensure learning takes place for that child. ● In addition, the school provides short weekly training slots, as well as INSET day sessions for staff to improve the teaching and learning of children including those with SEN. This includes whole school training on SEN issues such as ASD (Autism), SLCN (Speech and Language and Communication Needs) and SpLD (Specific Learning Needs, such as dyslexia and dyspraxia). Enterprise at FBS
Along with ‘Faith’ and ‘Boys’, ‘Enterprise’ is one of our three core pillars that underpin all that we are at FBS. As a school we aim to develop ‘the whole child’ and we see becoming more enterprising as an excellent way of joining up all areas of learning.
Personal Enterprise – problem solving, fearless of making mistakes
This is the one that boys are most familiar with and is all about self-improvement – becoming more enterprising ‘within yourself’. Our ‘Enterprise Value of the Half-Term encourages the boys to think about how they are living and developing these attitudes in their everyday life, in and out of lessons. Teachers plan lessons that develop these skills. In designated Enterprise PSHCE sessions with their tutors, boys work on setting themselves personal enterprise targets using our bespoke FBS enterprise levels. At the end of each year is ‘Enterprise Week’, where boys spend five days developing themselves and working in and with the local community.
Social Enterprise – game changers, teaching others to improve
FBS seeks to inspire boys to be community-minded and to strive to improve their world. In lessons boys benefit from their school being part of the Global Learning Programme, meaning that lessons have an element that educates boys about the world around them. Through co- curricular sessions like ‘Social Enterprise Photography’, boys seek to create projects and initiatives to address issues both local and global. In order to fulfil the requirements of their FBS Enterprise Award (see below) boys organise small tasks and larger projects. Students are involved in smaller events like the Macmillan cake sale or more long-term endeavours such as City Pitch – where boys compete with other teams across London to win funding for a community initiative.
Business Enterprise – risk taking, teamwork
Part of our responsibility to our students is to ensure that they are prepared for life after education. We want to produce 21st century citizens who are secure socially but also financially. A key part of this provision comes through the ‘Business Enterprise’ aspect of the Enterprise Diploma. Each year, students take part in the ‘Tenner Challenge’, where they receive a small start-up loan and aim to make profit from this. We also work with RedSTART and MyBNK to give pupils an insight into personal and business finance. From this they begin to learn about teamwork, managing expectations and improving their business acumen. Throughout the year, students work with and learn from a range of career opportunities involving people from a variety of backgrounds. Students attend career speed-networking events and work closely with a huge range of partners such as Chelsea F.C. to develop business enterprise skills and develop knowledge of a range of possible careers and industries.
The Enterprise Award
Boys at FBS engage with Enterprise in different ways and a range of awards and prizes are available for demonstrating success in these areas. Our vision is to send boys out into the world, equipped with the skills that will enable the boys to cope with the challenges that life presents them with.
In KS3 (Y7-9) boys log their Personal, Social and Business Enterprise endeavours and accolades through an online portfolio. Each is tailored to the six core enterprise skills that we promote in each half term. There are awards for Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.
At KS4 (Y10-11) boys’ Enterprise skills are developed through our careers programme, as well as through an extended version of the KS3 Enterprise Award. We make use of careers guidance software (Grofar) for boys to actively seek methods of enhancing their skills as well as opportunities to meet and work alongside a range of employers. Boys in KS4 undertake a maximum of 10 days of job shadowing in order to help shape their thoughts and ideas about future subject choices, apprenticeships, universities and careers.
Throughout KS5 (Y12-13) boys are thinking about the next step in their journey and are interested in maximising their chances of future success. Boys in Y12 undertake 5 days of work experience in an industry where they have specific interest. FBS also offers the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which is valued by universities and employers, as well as the well- recognised Duke of Edinburgh Award. Student Leadership
Leadership is developed in the house system, in lessons, in sports and in school clubs, encouraging responsibility and inspiring self-belief and confidence. Boys can also apply to become prefects. Prefect roles include: sport, music, digital, library, chaplaincy, enterprise and corridor monitors.
Enterprise Week
At the end of the summer term the school runs an Enterprise Week. In place of the normal school time- table, a range of activities gets boys venturing across London, participating in adventure training, immersed in business challenges and inspired by famous names.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award
The DofE bronze award scheme starts in Year 9, with boys completing their overnight expeditions during the summer term, and organising and planning their volunteering, skills and sports options in the co-curricular and their own time.
Sports at FBS
There are three strands to the high quality sports programme at Fulham Boys School; Competitive Sports, Physical Education and Co-Curricular Sports. These enable sport to be freely available to all boys and push the talented whilst encouraging those who are less able to find sports they love.
Competitive Sports The Fulham Boys School is determined to succeed in four core sports: Cricket, Football, Rowing and Rugby. Competition in these sports will run on an Inter and Intra school competition format. There will be twelve weeks allocated for each of the sports apart from rowing.
Autumn Term – Rugby Spring Term – Football Summer Term – Cricket All year round - Rowing
Each pupil will receive two hours of specialist coaching every week during their year group sports afternoon. For Football and Rugby, there will be ten fixtures for each of the sports and they will take place on Saturday mornings. Where possible there will be A, B and C team fixtures. Throughout the twelve weeks that have been allocated to each of the sports there will be two house competitions, where every pupil has the opportunity to represent their house.
Rowing will also be part of the competitive calendar; FBS will be attending local indoor rowing competitions and we have worked with Fulham Reach Boat Club to set up an elite programme for boys who have shown prowess in rowing. From Year 9 onwards, 16 boys from each year will have the opportunity to join the Elite Squad and opt into rowing throughout the year instead of going to Barn Elms for the other core sports. All boys from year 9 will also have the opportunity to complete the ‘Learn to Row’ course which will take place at Fulham Reach Boat Club during their PE lessons on Monday or Thursday morning. PE and Games (Curriculum Lessons) PE lessons will run for six weeks each (half term) and the activities covered will be: Induction Fitness Testing Athletics Gymnastics Badminton Outdoor and adventurous activities Fitness training Hockey Volleyball Basketball
These are taught alongside the core sports (see competitive sports section). A foundation of the GCSE curriculum will be covered throughout these lessons, where boys will learn specific anatomical, historical, motor learning, physiological and psychological aspects that the pupils will have to relate to the sport/activity that they are participating in.
Co-curricular Sports These activities run throughout the year, they range from: Badminton Boxing Cricket Nets Football Indoor Rowing Judo Mixed Martial Arts Table Tennis Running club
All boys will be given the opportunity to represent the school in competitions that are facilitated by the coaches of these co-curricular sports.
Sports Afternoons Sports Afternoons run from year 7 to 10: Monday - Year 8 Tuesday - Year 7 Wednesday - Year 11 and 6th Form Thursday - Year 10 Year 9 will go on Friday morning Sports afternoons take place at Barn Elms, Marathon Pavilion, Queen Elizabeth Walk, Barnes, London SW13 9SA . All boys will leave school at 1:30pm and will be taken by coach to the pitches. Coaching will occur from 2-4pm. All boys will be dismissed from the pitches/changing rooms and make their own way home from there. Fixtures against other schools Rugby We compete in the Middlesex School Tournament for full sided rugby for every year group and compete in various 7 a-side tournaments including the Rosslyn Park National 7s tournament. Football We compete in the London Cup, the Inner London Cup and the QPR League. Cricket We compete in the Hammersmith and Fulham league and The McKinsey Cup, hosted by Middlesex.
To create more opportunities for boys to compete, we also play against established state and independent schools. The schools currently on our fixture list are: Hampton, Dulwich Prep School, Latymer Upper School, London Oratory School, St Benedict’s School, Orleans Park School, Cardinal Vaughan School.
Learn an Instrument at FBS
In addition to timetabled Music lessons we offer private tuition for boys wanting to learn a musical instrument. These sessions will happen during the normal school day, with students taken out of lessons or clubs for 30 minutes each week to study with their music tutor. Where possible the lesson times will be on a rotation so that students do not miss the same lesson/club each week.
Parents will be expected to pay for at least 5 lessons in advance and your son’s tutor will issue an invoice on the 4th lesson of the block of 5 requesting payment for the subsequent block. If the cost of lessons would be a major barrier to your son accessing instrumental/vocal tuition please note that we have a small number of places available on a scholarship basis. It is very important that these invoices are paid promptly as it is unfair to expect our tutors to have to chase payment for their services.
Personal practice is an essential part of learning a musical instrument but we recognise that purchasing your own instrument is not always possible. We have a small number of instruments available for students to borrow and these are issued on a first come first served basis and are subject to the terms set out in the Instrument Loan Contract.
Instruments being offered for tuition are:
Violin Piano Trumpet Alto Saxophone Cello Bass guitar Trombone Tenor Saxophone Double Bass Guitar/Electric Guitar Euphonium Clarinet Voice Drums French Horn Flute
To help with planning timetables and booking tutors it would be really useful to have a good idea in advance of September how many students would be interested in learning instruments. The exact cost will vary depending on the instrument/tutor but you can use the following approximate costs as a guide.
£18 per half hour lesson for a one-to-one lesson
- OR -
£11 per half hour for a small group lesson (there will be no more than three students in a group but we must have at least two students learning together to make group lessons possible) This will be paid in blocks of 5 lessons, so £90 for one to one or £55 for group lessons per block.
The Fulham Boys School Music Scholarship is an award for students who show aptitude for music and who are willing to learn one of our FBS priority instruments for that year but for whom the cost is a barrier. Scholarship recipients will receive fully funded or subsidised instrumental/vocal lessons until the end of the academic year in which the scholarship was awarded. Recipients are expected to take an active role in the co-curricular ensemble throughout the year. Places are limited, therefore families who can afford the cost of music lessons without the need of the Scholarship are discouraged from applying. Please let me know as soon as possible by email if you are likely to apply for this support next year so I can plan accordingly. Priority instruments for academic year 2019-20 are lower brass (trombone/tuba/French horn), strings (cello/double bass/violin) and vocals.
If you would like your son to receive instrumental/vocal lessons or if you have any further questions about the above, please contact Mr Burns via email at [email protected].
LAMDA
We also offer private tuition for boys wanting to take exams with the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art, or LAMDA. If you wish to find out more about the LAMDA exams please visit their website at http://www.lamda.org.uk/examinations . These sessions will happen during the normal school day, with students taken out of lessons for 30 minutes each week to study with their LAMDA tutor. Where possible the lesson times will be on a rotation so that students do not miss the same lesson/club each week.
Parents will be expected to pay the tutor directly for 5 lessons in advance. Your son’s tutor will issue an invoice on the 4th lesson of the block of 5 requesting payment for the subsequent block. Please contact Mr Burns (details below) if you have any further questions or queries regarding LAMDA tuition. We look forward to supporting your son’s development and hope he will be inspired to participate in this rich and vibrant part of Fulham Boys School life. Sam Burns Head of Performing Arts [email protected] Co-Curricular provision at FBS
At the Fulham Boys School we aim to produce young men who are open to new experiences and are prepared to put maximum effort into all that they do. Involvement in Co-Curricular clubs is compulsory and integral to that aim. The Co-Curricular programme at FBS is designed to provide opportunities and experiences that expand horizons as well as supporting and stretching students physically, academically, personally and socially. Our teachers run the majority of our Co-Curricular clubs, and they allow students to develop and improve new and collaborative relationships outside of the classroom environment, which is why we call them Co-Curricular clubs rather than classes. The system we use to sort, organise and allocate the clubs we have to offer is called CHQ. At the beginning of the year, students (and parents) are issued with a username and password. Within the first few weeks of each term (or half term depending on your year group), boys are asked to rank the clubs available to them. The clubs allocation is done automatically by the system. We seek to strike a balance between different types of club (sporting, academic or enterprise). In Year 7, boys will have 6 rotations during the year to give them everyone a chance to try a lot of different things. Some clubs are a response to students’ needs - some subjects offer a Stretch and/or Booster clubs in order to get the best from students. We also have clubs that are non-academic that may request your son’s attendance, for example Running Club. Requests may also be for co-curricular clubs that require ongoing commitment e.g. Debating or Police Cadets. We recognise that we have long days at the Fulham Boys School, so in addition to the variety of activities we have on offer we allow the boys time to complete homework/assignments/revision etc. during one of their Co- Curricular slots. We want boys to try out a real range of activities, please see below for a (non-exhaustive) list of activities we ran this academic year: ● Sports based clubs - Cricket, Judo, Boxing, Indoor Rowing, Swimming ● Enterprise - Setting up an FBS Business, Social Enterprise Wings of Hope ● Interest - Communications Workshops, Cooking, Debating, Photography ● Academic - Spanish Booster, French Chat ● ‘Request’ clubs: School Show, Shoebox Actors Company
In some cases, boys may have been requested for 2 or more clubs, resulting in their choice of clubs being overridden. It is important to us that students enjoy what clubs they are doing so we try our best to accommodate your son’s wishes.
School Payments
Payments to School
ParentPay is the online payment system used by the school which allows parents to pay quickly and securely for school lunches, trips, activities and much more. This helps the school manage your son’s payments more efficiently and provides a facility for parents to make payments online or via a mobile app. All payments to the School must be made using ParentPay. We are unable to accept any payments by cheque or cash although ParentPay has a facility to accept cash at Paypoint outlets which are widely available.
The school will send out registration letters to all new parents in July. The registration letter will contain your activation username and password along with information on how to set up your account. If you have an existing ParentPay account for children at another school, the FBS activation will enable you to add FBS to your existing account. To make payments you simply top-up your ParentPay account online or via the mobile app using your debit or credit card, or in cash through PayPoint stores. Your ParentPay balance can then be used immediately to pay for your son’s school lunches, trips or other activities. ParentPay holds an electronic record of your payments to view at a later date. Once you have activated your account you can make online payments straight away. You can access ParentPay by clicking on the following link https://www.parentpay.com Please note that the School’s policy are that all payments should be made in advance of the start of term, or the date of the trip, if applicable. The School operates a robust Debt Recovery Policy as any money owed has an impact on the budget and may affect the educational resources that can be provided to our pupils.
Breakfast Club, Morning Break, Lunchtime
Breakfast Club At FBS we believe the most important meal of the day is breakfast and no boys should start the school without it. Every day between 7.45am and 8.20am in Beaumont Avenue Canteen, we offer toasts with a choice of jams free of charge. We also serve bacon rolls, egg rolls and a selection of cereals at an extra cost. All boys are welcome every day!
Morning Break Homemade cookies and healthy snacks, fruit juices and milk shakes are on sale from the ‘Tuck Shop’. Boys can bring in their own snack, but it must be fresh fruit and water must be in a clear bottle. All boys have a ‘Tuck’ account which parents can top up in ParentPay.
School Lunches All boys are expected to have school dinners unless exceptional dietary needs mean a packed lunch is the only practicable solution. The school chef provides fantastically good quality and highly nutritious food for boys and staff. There is also a choice of vegetarian/non vegetarian, halal and special dietary needs dishes. Lunches are charged in advance each half term. FBS school lunches are cooked fresh on site daily by our caterer Naked Nosh.
About Naked Nosh
• All dishes are homemade to traditional recipes from scratch in our own kitchen and are 100% natural. All prepared food items are from suppliers with the same attitude and approach to food as ours. • All ingredients that can be produced in the UK are sourced from the UK. • They seek out the best produce, not the cheapest. • They only use British Freedom Farmed or Red Tractor Standard corn fed chicken, lamb, beef, pork and free range eggs. • Their fish is always from sustainable sources & MSC Certified. • They try to ensure all imported ingredients are organic or fairly traded.

Their menus aim to replicate the foods that children associate with, while ensuring a balanced diet with healthy proteins, varied carbohydrates and a selection of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Free School Meals
Applying for free school meals is a lot easier than you might think. The school may also benefit from additional government funding which can be used to provide other services in school.
Do you qualify for Free School Meals?

Please attach a label (with your son's initial and surname) on the outside of each item of sports kit underneath the FBS badge (above for sports shorts). Equipment List
We believe is it vitally important that all boys at FBS arrive fully equipped and ready to learn. Boys should have the following equipment with them in school every day.
2 Pens, black or blue 1 Green pen 1 Purple Pen 1 Pencil 1 Rubber 1 Sharpener 1 Ruler 1 Protractor 1 Glue stick 1 Scientific calculator Charged Chromebook with case Reading Book
There is a stationary school shop open from 8am every day. Here boys can buy cost price equipment to ensure they are always ready for learning (for example 20 pence for a basic pen).
If a boy is missing any equipment he will be given a conduct signature on his conduct card and expected to have the correct equipment the next day.
Mobile Phones
We understand that in this modern world most boys will own a mobile phone and that due to travel time to and from school they may need to bring these with them to school. However, once in the school grounds boys should turn off their phones and put them safely in their school bags. Unless specifically asked to by a member of staff boys should not have their phones out or switched on during the school day.
If boys are found to be using their mobile phone during the school day this will be confiscated and locked away in the school reception until an adult is able to collect it from school.
Lockers
We understand that the boy’s school bags can be heavy to carry around, particularly if sports kit is needed that day. For this reason all boys are able to lease a school locker. They will do this in the first few days of term via their Head of House. We ask for a £10 deposit for the year payable on ParentPay which will be returned in July once the key is given in and the locker has been cleaned out by the boys. This deposit will be used in the case of misplaced keys to cover the cost of new keys being cut in which case the deposit will not be returned.
Chromebooks
Dear Parent/Guardian,
I am delighted to be able to contact you with details of our latest Chromebook offer for all boys joining The Fulham Boys School in Year 7 in September.
The Chromebook is a slim laptop which runs the Google Chrome operating system, including Google Drive and Google Documents. More details can be found here: www.google.com/chromebooks. All classroom resources use the Google operating platform and so are designed for use with the Chromebook.
We will expect boys to bring their devices to school every day for use in lessons and to complete ‘ownwork’ during Prep study periods or at home.
Students and parents need to make a selection from one of the payment options by the 3rd August. Please could we also ask that parents read through the Chromebook acceptable usage policy which can be found here. Students will be asked to accept this policy when Chromebooks are given out in September.
This booklet sets out the choices available regarding the devices and some common questions. In addition, you can contact me at school to discuss any further questions you may have – [email protected] or [email protected]
I will be holding a session to further introduce the scheme, provide an overview of the benefits of a 1:1 scheme as well as address any questions that you may have at the end of your son’s Transition Day (Wednesday 3rd July).
I would appreciate it if all parents make their choice from the options outlined in this document and make payment by Wednesday 3rd August.
Simon Kellie
Deputy Head Teacher Purchase Options
We offer two options for Chromebook purchases:
Option 1 - £215 Purchase + £20 Insurance (£235 total) With this option you are purchasing a brand new Lenova 100e 2nd gen Chromebook with a case: ● Robust ruggedized design with splash proof keyboard ● Designed for use in schools ● 4GB RAM ● 16GB hard drive ● 10 hour battery life ● 3 year Lenova ‘collect and return’ warranty
We will expect the device to be in school every day. This equipment will be subject to the same monitoring system as the school owned machines.
Once purchased in full, the machine belongs to the student. Should the student leave the school, our monitoring systems would be removed at this time. The device is also provided with a protective neoprene case. Detailed device specifications can be found at:
https://laptopmedia.com/laptop-specs/lenovo-100e-chromebook-2nd-gen/
Option 2 - A yearly payment of £60.00 over four years As option 1 with annual payments to spread the cost. Should a student leave before full payment is made the Chromebook would need to be returned to the school.
We have provided the above two options to be as flexible as possible. If, however, you require further assistance with payments or have any queries in relation to the payments, please contact our head of finance via email at [email protected].
Payment can be made directly into the schools account using the details below. Please ensure your quote your Child's name in the reference.
Bank Name: Metro Bank, Fulham Broadway Branch. Sort Code: 23-05-80 Account Number: 15106433 Insurance Cover
Where insurance is provided for a device this cover includes:
● 3 Years Complete Protection for Accidental Damage & Parts Failure ● Collect & Return Warranty for 3 years ● Accidental Damage Insurance ● All Parts, Labour & Carriage Included
Examples of accidental damage can be dropping your Chromebook onto a hard surface, such as a wooden or concrete floor, resulting in a cracked/smashed screen/case. Liquid damage can consist of either a drinks spillage, caught in the rain or even dropped in the bath. In the event of accidental damage, you would arrange collection of your chromebook, which would be repaired and returned to you. Full terms and conditions of accidental damage cover are available from the school.
Cases for Devices
When any of the devices referred to on the previous pages are not in use it will be your son’s responsibility to ensure that it is stored in a protective case (as outlined in the Chromebook Acceptable Use Policy)
Devices purchased through these options will be provided with a MAX Explorer Bag 2.0 in black. Information about these cases can be found here. Frequently Asked Questions
Will carrying a device just make my son a target for local criminals? The school has communicated extensively with a range of schools that have well established 1-2-1 schemes already in place. Any records experienced by them of theft has been entirely opportunistic and we are confident that the chance of targeted incidents taking place is low. We liaise closely with the local Police and will continue to ensure that our students are educated on responsible ways to travel to and from school to minimise their chances of being the victims of crime. Our school staff will also continue to have a presence in the local area at the end of the school day in order to act as a further deterrent.
When will students use Chromebooks? Students will be expected to bring a charged Chromebook to every lesson, just like they currently bring a pen and planner. The Chromebook can last up to 12 hours between charges - students should not therefore need to charge them in school.
Can my son bring in a device that he already owns to use in school? Can I buy a device from another high street retailer and my son use that in school? The school has taken the decision to only allow boys to bring Chromebook devices into school that are purchased through this scheme. The rationale for this is based on a number of factors: ● Firstly, the devices are all registered on the school domain and we are therefore able to manage and monitor how the devices are used effectively. ● The school knows for certain that the devices do not have any viruses (or similar) on them that could compromise the schools ICT system as well as leave our pupils vulnerable with regards to eSafety. ● By only allowing devices to be purchased through the school we are certain that the devices are not able to bypass the school’s 2 comprehensive web filters and therefore we have confidence that all students and staff are secure with regards to what they can and can’t access on the devices. ● It is also important to note that there are very few specialist insurance companies that will offer insurance for student’s devices whilst on a school premises and these insurance policies are not publicly available. In order for devices to be insured on the school premises (with a £0 excess) it is therefore necessary for them to be purchased through such a scheme.
How are the devices monitored in and out of school? The Chromebook devices are all registered to the school’s domain and, therefore, use of the device is managed by the school. When boys are in school the use of the Chromebooks is also controlled and monitored by 2 separate web filters (Lightspeed and Securely). When boys are off site and logged in using their school email address their usage is still monitored by the school through Securely as well as the Google Admin Console (overseen by our ICT Technician). Can I connect the Chromebook to the internet at my house? Chromebooks use wireless to connect to a network, so you will need WiFi at home to use the Chromebook on the Internet. If you have WiFi, your network security key can be added to the Chromebook before logon. If you don’t have WiFi at home, the Chromebook will still work for many things (for example editing Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Sheets all works offline).
For Option 1 Devices - These machines would be repaired by us. There is a limit of two claims per year.
For Option 2 Devices - These Machines would be repaired by us but would have a limit of one claim per year. Any additional damage claims will be chargeable for parts only.
What happens if the Chromebook is lost or stolen? If a Chromebook is lost or stolen, it is important that it is reported to the IT Support team immediately in order that FBS data can be remotely removed from the device. You will need to buy a new device for your son to use in school. Some home insurance policies provide cover for items stolen or lost away from home.
What about filtering/internet safety? All Chromebooks have a filtering system installed on them. This enables us to monitor and filter their use both at school and at home. Whilst students are on the school site, our internet policies apply - this filters out all inappropriate content and social networking. Students are not allowed to log onto Chromebooks in school using any accounts other than their school email address. When offsite, students are able to log onto Chromebooks as a ‘Guest’ and access personal accounts in this way.
How will the Chromebook be backed up? The Chromebook is always backed up and our students have unlimited storage space in the Google Drive.
How can I make payment/order a device?
Payment of £235 for outright purchase or £60 annual instalment can be made directly into the school’s bank account. Please quote the name of your child in the payment reference.
Bank Name: Metro Bank, Fulham Broadway Branch. Sort Code: 23-05-80 Account Number: 15106433
What if I have any further questions? If you have any further questions or queries with regards to this please don’t hesitate to get in touch with out IT Technician, Mr Kuddus at [email protected]
Chromebook Acceptable Use Policy, Procedures and Information
Except where specifically stated otherwise, the policies, procedures and information within this document apply to all Chromebooks used at The Fulham Boys School. It is intended that this policy is provided to supplement and work to support the ‘FBS ICT and Portable Device Policy’.
1. RECEIVING YOUR CHROMEBOOK
All students are required to bring their Chromebook into school every day fully charged.
Students who fail to bring their device into school charged will be issued with a conduct signature in the first instance. Where repeated incidents are reported a student's Head of House will consider appropriate sanctions that may include (but are not restricted to) working in the Pupil Support Class for a day and where the device not being brought into school is viewed as repeated defiance exclusion may be considered
All parents and students that sign up for the use of a Chromebook in The Fulham Boys School are bound by the Acceptable Use Policy with regards to the devices use both in and out of school.
2. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
All Chromebook users will follow this Acceptable Use Policy and Guidelines (AUP) for this scheme. ● Chromebooks will remain free of any writing, stickers or other graffiti other than labels added by Fulham Boys School. ● Chromebooks should only be used in teaching classrooms with direct supervision by a member of staff, in the Library or in the Beaumont Avenue Reception area. ● When not in use and when travelling in-between lessons students should always store their Chromebooks in the case provided and keep them in their FBS bag or locked in their allocated locker.
Carrying Chromebooks The protective cases provided with Chromebooks have sufficient padding to protect the Chromebooks from normal treatment and provide a suitable means for carrying the device within the school. The guidelines below should be followed: ● Chromebooks should always be within the protective case when not in use. ● Chromebooks must be carried in FBS rucksacks in their cases when travelling in- between lessons.
Screen care The Chromebooks can be damaged if subjected to rough treatment. The screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure on the screen. ● Do not lean on the top of the Chromebook. ● Do not place anything near the Chromebooks that could put pressure on the screen.
● Do not place anything in the protective case other than the Chromebook itself.
Chromebook identification Student Chromebooks will be labelled in the manner specified by the school. Chromebooks can be identified in the following ways: ● Record of serial number ● The Fulham Boys School security label/asset tag.
If a student notices either of these are missing students must inform the school’s ICT Technician so that they can ensure a replacement is organised.
Chromebooks left in unsupervised areas Under no circumstances should Chromebooks be left unsupervised unless stored securely in a student’s locker.
Damage to Chromebooks Students will be held responsible for ALL damage to their Chromebooks including, but not limited to: broken screens, cracked plastic pieces, inoperability (where this damage has been caused deliberately or through neglect).
3. USING YOUR CHROMEBOOK AT FULHAM BOYS SCHOOL
Chromebooks are intended for use at The Fulham Boys School each day. Students should be using them to support their studies during lessons. Students should only use Chromebooks in lessons when told to do so by their classroom teacher. No student should record, film or photograph a lesson / teacher / student without asking permission first. This includes out of lesson time. If a student is found to be misusing the Chromebooks in this way, it will be confiscated with a possibility that the Chromebook will not be re-issued (according to the nature of the particular incident) until a meeting has been held with parents. Students are only authorised to use their Chromebooks in school when logged in using their school email address.
Profile photos Students are not permitted to change the profile picture assigned to their school email address account/gmail account.
Sound, music and games Sound must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the teacher. The Chromebook is only to be used appropriately as directed by the teacher in the lesson time in line with school rules and expectations.
Saving work on the Chromebook Students will be able to save work completed on the Chromebooks using Google Drive (accessed through their school Gmail account). Students are only allowed to use their Google Drive storage space for saving materials and work directly related to The Fulham Boys School. Students will be made aware that their storage spaces and emails are accessible by the school’s ICT Technician and members of the Senior Leadership Team. Any student found to be using the school’s ICT facilities inappropriately will be referred to Mr Kellie, Deputy Head Teacher, and Mr Ebenzer, Headmaster.

Dear Parent or Guardian,
At The Fulham Boys School we have a student recognition system using biometrics. This allows us to make the best use of efficient systems such as cashless catering, library software, print and copy cost control, access control and registration systems.
The system improves the services we are able to offer boys and staff significantly, with benefits including:
Reduction in administration time and cost dealing with lost or forgotten cards/passwords/PINs
Reduction in opportunities for bullying as there is nothing that can be stolen for use by another boy
Boys will not have to remember to bring a card
Reduction in queuing time
This technology is used successfully by thousands of schools and we would like to make it clear that The Fulham Boys School will comply at all times with GDPR legislation which came into effect in May. In order for your son to use the biometric system, one parent or guardian will need to read, consent by email, or sign and return the attached form. We will also offer an opportunity to opt out for those boys who, upon consideration, would prefer to use alternative forms of identification.
Further information about biometrics systems is enclosed.
If you would like more information or the chance to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me.
Yours faithfully,
Alun Ebenezer, Headmaster
Fulham Boys School Ltd. Registered in England & Wales, No.7650064. Registered office: Mund Street, Gibbs Green, London W14 9LY
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PARENTS
Background to the use of biometrics in school For the sake of clarity, biometric information is information about someone’s physical or behavioral characteristics that can be used to identify them. There are many possible biometrics, including for example, a digital photograph, fingerprint, or hand shapes. As part of our identity management systems, we will record a partial biometric measurement taken from a finger, but not a full fingerprint image as the police or a similar type establishment would take. The fingerprint data is stored on the school`s servers, in a highly secure database and will only be used by the school to confirm who is using a range of services. The database is password restricted and can only be accessed by IT and a limited number of staff who enroll the boy’s fingerprints. In future we may use other biometric services where appropriate.
Our chosen solution allows us to use a secure database holding biometric data for use with a range of services. This means we will store the least amount of data possible. This reduces the risk of loss of data.
The data that is held cannot be used by any other agency for any other purpose which has been confirmed by Biostore.
The school will not use the biometric information for any purpose other than that stated above. The school will store the biometric information collected securely in compliance with the GDPR legislation. The school will not share this information with anyone else and will not unlawfully disclose it to any other person.
Current Legislation – GDPR This legislation requires schools to:
Ensure the suppliers we use are GDPR compliant Ensure that personal data is stored securely and only accessible by those who require access. Inform parents in the event of a data breach Inform parents about the use of the biometric systems in the school and explain what applications use biometrics. Receive written permission from one parent if the school is to process biometric information for their child. Allow children to choose an alternative way of being identified if they wish.
Children under 18 who do not have permission by September 2013 will not be able to use existing or new biometrics when using services in the school.
If you do not wish your son to use the biometric system or your child chooses to use an alternative form of identification we will them with a pin that will allow them to access current and future services.
Should you agree to the processing of your son’s biometric information, it is important that you return the signed consent form below as soon as possible. Please note that when he leaves the school, or if for some other reason he ceases to use the biometric system, his biometric data will be permanently deleted.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact the school.
