Head of Business and Economics

The Fulham Boys School is seeking an inspirational and committed Head of Business and Economics. Both Business Studies and Economics are increasingly popular at FBS with many boys choosing to take Business Studies at GCSE and both subjects for A Level. The enterprising character of our young men means they are intrigued and excited by the world of business and relish having opportunities to bring their learning to life and through seeing relevance in the real world. Economics has become one of our most popular A level subjects with two thriving classes in both year 12 and year 13. The new Head of department will be taking over the team at an exciting time as the department continues to grow and flourish. The Business and Economics department has achieved some great successes in recent years. In GCSE Business Studies a third of students gained a grade 7 or above placing the department in the top 13% nationally for progress while at A Level the department once again broke all previous headline figures and fell in the top 25% nationally. Economics results saw 42% of the students achieve a grade A or above, also placing the department in the top 25% nationally. About The Fulham Boys School The Fulham Boys School, located in the heart of Fulham, is a highly successful and oversubscribed school with a good reputation in the local community. In 2024 at GCSE the school sits in the top 4% nationally for progress and achieved 90% 4+ in English & Maths and 73% 5+ in English & Maths. In the sixth form, the school is proud to once again achieve ALPs 3 which places us in the top 25% nationally for KS5 results. We offer all of our students an extended school day with all of our boys in school until 4:10pm Monday to Thursday and 2:45pm on Fridays. During this time, our extensive co-curricular offer enables students to take on a new sport or find their passion in debating, gardening or social enterprise. We want our students to leave FBS equipped for the workplace and life beyond. What we offer As a school we are passionate about the professional development and wellbeing of all of our staff. We offer:

• 172 school days per year with 5 INSET days
• Sixteen (16) weeks of school holidays - more than most state schools
