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. If you have any questions or queries or you are struggling to find the information you require please do not hesitate to get in touch: Admissions Officer: Samantha Barton Email: [email protected] Tel: 020 7381 7100 Ex 251 In order to support the new Year 7 boys starting at FBS we have arranged for them to start the term first on Thursday 5th September.
