    Central Foundation is one of London’s leading schools, with over 1000 boys between the ages of 11 to 18. Also, our Sixth Form has an expanding number of female students who now constitute about a third of our Sixth Form.

    A Central Foundation education involves providing our students with a wide range of educational experiences, including academic, sporting, musical, dramatic, debating, and public speaking. Our aim is that through this provision the students develop the knowledge, skills, and attributes they all need to lead successful lives, but besides, it allows the students to develop their unique talents and confidence and to forge their paths in life.

    Underpinning a Central Foundation education is rigor and a drive for excellence. We are rightly proud of our students’ examination results. In the last few years, these results have consistently shown the school to be one of the leading educators of boys in the country. These exam outcomes have enabled our students to access a very ambitious selection of universities. The school’s approach that supports the students to achieve academically is also seen across the whole of our educational provision.

    Central Foundation is a fully comprehensive school, welcoming students of all academic abilities and, of course, from all backgrounds. The extraordinary diversity of our community contributes significantly to the education we offer. It helps us to promote the liberal, open-minded and tolerant values that were at the core of our founder’s vision over 150 years ago and remain so to this day.

    The well-being and happiness of all of our students are paramount to us. As well as providing excellent individual pastoral care we have looked to create a school community that promotes the development of happy, well-adjusted and fulfilled young men. This is achieved both through the myriad of activities available to the boys and also in how all of the adults and boys work together in a spirit of care and respect.

    The school’s location is unique in its position at the heart of Tech City and on the edge of the City of London. This location gives us unrivaled opportunities to engage with a huge variety of organizations and individuals who support our students in developing their understanding of our rapidly changing world.

    Thank you for exploring the possibility of entry to Central Foundation Boys’ School at what I believe is a very exciting time to be part of the school’s community. It is a great honor to be leading the school during its 150th anniversary in 2016-2017. We believe that it is our responsibility that every one of our pupils fulfills their academic potential. Also, we must ensure that they develop a love of learning, fully develop their creativity, and, so importantly, enjoy their time at the school.

    We aim to:

    • Offer an academic challenge that enables every pupil to realize their potential.
    • Create an environment that instills in students the ability and courage to think independently and develop a love of learning.
    • Provide a wide range of cultural, sporting and adventurous activities for pupils to enjoy and through which they can learn to work co-operatively and to lead.
    • Be a community that nurtures every student and encourages them to develop a sense of social responsibility and that also supports their spiritual and personal development.
    • Support all of our students in the best universities and high-quality employment.
    • Develop and maintain the school’s facilities to ensure that the physical environment of Central Foundation sustains the excellence of its education.
    • Ensure that the pupils from all backgrounds and abilities can obtain admission to school and feel secure and valued and that they are all able to realize their potential.

    We provide an interesting and well-taught curriculum that is broad and balanced. We seek to challenge and motivate our students so that they achieve their maximum potential.

    In Key Stage 3 all students are entitled to study the subjects on offer. Many subjects will organize the students into groups based on their ability to improve achievement. We operate a timetable spread over two weeks with 30 50 minute periods each week. We have specialized pathways to ensure success for our students.

    We combine traditional values with a modern approach. Our students work in a disciplined environment that is conducive to learning, with excellent resources that match the needs of education in the new millennium.

    We believe that the best way to motivate our pupils is by providing exciting and challenging lessons. We encourage students to participate fully in lessons and take responsibility for their learning.
