From The FBS Foundation
Introducing The FBS Foundation Room Sponsorship Scheme
It is wonderful to welcome both new and old students back to FBS after what I hope has been an enjoyable summer holiday for all.
The FBS Foundation is starting the academic year with a new and exciting opportunity for companies to increase their exposure whilst providing the crucial additional funds needed by the school to provide an outstanding education for every student.
FBS invites companies to make a donation to The Fulham Boys School Foundation and in return the school will recognise that generosity through the naming of a room. Along with a plaque outside the room (see photo), companies taking part in this scheme will be further recognised on the school’s sponsorship board (see photo) located prominently in the entrance hall.
Every penny donated to The Fulham Boys School Foundation goes directly to the school for educational improvement. If you, or someone you know, is associated with a company which might like to get involved, please contact me at j.thomas@fulhamboysschool.org.uk.
Room signs are professionally printed onto hard-wearing perspex. Minimum donation for company recognition is £1000 p.a. for three years. Enquiries regarding recognition on specialist rooms/areas such the dining hall and laboratories are welcomed.
Best wishes,
Julian Thomas
CEO, The Fulham Boys School Trust

Sixth Form Information Evening – Wednesday 13th September
On Wednesday 13th of September we have a Sixth Form information evening. The evening starts at 6pm and will end around 8pm. This evening is designed for parents of Year 12 students to get a better understanding of the FBS Sixth Form and what your son will be involved in over the next two years. It will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions to the Sixth Form Team directly.
It would be great to see as many of you there as possible.
Sixth Form Information Evening – Wednesday 13th September
Year 13 Mock Exams
Please see this Year 13 Mock Exam Timetable document in preparation for the Year 13 Mock Exams that begin on Monday 18th September, finishing on Monday 25th September.
Students are not expected to be in school over the exam period unless they study the following subjects: BTEC Sport, Digital iMedia. Exams start at 8:30am and so students must be in school by 8:25am at the latest. Students and parents are to treat these exam weeks as if it is the summer examinations and so must send in a GP appointment/ sick note for each day a student misses an exam. Students may not be able to sit the exam on another day and this may impact their UCAS predicted grades. If you have any further questions please email: exams@fulhamboysschool.
Spanish Trip Information Evening – Monday 11th September
Parents of boys on the upcoming Spanish Trip were emailed details of an information evening taking place next Monday 11th September. The evening will commence from 6pm and will take place in the Drama Studio. Please see the letter here that was sent to parents. If you are unable to attend, please contact Ms Hoskin on l.hoskin@fulhamboysschool.org.uk.
LAMDA Sessions at The Fulham Boys School
Please see this brief note from Rachel Knowles, who is our LAMDA teacher at the school. LAMDA encompasses many aspects of performance as well as many other fundamental aspects of drama.
