It’s also heartening to see our continued progress as a school, with this year’s results confirming a step change in performance across all departments since 2019. Our boys have worked tirelessly to meet their potential and lay foundations for the next step of their academic journey. As ever this would not have been possible without the hard work of FBS staff and support from our parents; thank you yet again.’
We are extremely pleased that so many of our boys are today enrolling in our Sixth Form to study A Levels, and also that many have secured alternative education or employment. These include those taking up places in specialist music colleges, digital design, electrical installation, multitrade courses and those going on to sign professional football contracts.
