Our vision
Our pledge, and unflinching resolve, is to be one of the best schools in this country - state or private in the next ten years.
To achieve this and pull off the seemingly impossible, we have created and constantly reinforced a very distinctive ethos. It is an ethos that is built upon the Christian faith, nurtures enterprise and is geared towards boys.

The Fulham Boys School opened in September 2014 with its first Year 7 pupils and currently has boys in Years 7-12. We are particularly excited this year to open our inaugural sixth form. At the helm is our Head of Sixth Form, Mr Ross Maggs, who joined us last year from Brighton College, one of the country’s best schools.
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.
This ethos underpins everything. 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 backgrounds and abilities, making FBS a truly comprehensive school.
Moreover, FBS is more than just a school. We are a real cooperative and as such rely 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.

90: UNTIL WE MEET AGAINWe are living through incredible times. So much so, that from 2pm on Friday 20th March The Fulham Boys School closed to nearly all of its pupils without knowing when we’d meet again. Before the boys left, we held a final assembly both for those in school and for those watching from home. I gave them twelve pieces of advice to take away and hold onto during the tumultuous months ahead.

89. How can Christians respond to the coronavirus? - Guest Blog By Sam Brown ChaplainThe news is dominated by one thing: coronavirus. As chaplain at a school built upon the Christian faith, it has got me thinking about what Christianity and the Bible say about something like Covid-19. For some people that may seem like a strange thing to dwell on: surely in times like this the focus should be on urgent realities and more practical measures. To be blunt, however, if Christianity and the Bible have nothing to say about something as serious as a global pandemic then they are a waste of time and not worth considering at any other stage. Here, then, are 7 ways Christians can respond to the coronavirus. This list isn’t exhaustive but will give you food for thought. As we always encourage the boys, it is an opportunity to learn, think, question and challenge.

88. What is the point of Enterprise? Guest Blog By Morgan Browne Assistant Headteacher in charge of Enterprise and Personal developmentWhat is the point? If you are a philosopher, a parent, or a teacher this is a question you will have been asked... a lot. “What is the point of algebra? How will it help me in the ‘real world’?” “What is the point of a tie? Most businessmen don’t even wear them?” “What is the point of school? I’m going to be a _______ (insert dream job here)”. Last week saw Fulham Boys School embrace that question with our very first ‘What’s the point of… Week’. We encouraged students to question every aspect of the school day, from poetry to punctuality, in order to squash the myth that the ' real world’ and ‘school’ exist in separate universes, light years apart. We welcomed industry professionals to come in and talk to our boys about their educational and professional journeys and invited them to quiz them about the point of things in the ‘real world’. We can talk all day about the importance of spelling, but until you hear an employer talk about throwing half read CV’s in the bin for spelling mistakes, it is meaningless and abstract.
We give students opportunities to be enterprising through taking risks, becoming daring, developing resilience, being team players, and building tenacity.
