RESPECT, HONESTY, HIGH EXPECTATIONS

At BFS our values drive everything that we do and as a result our teachers enjoy impeccable behaviour in lessons and hardworking, highly motivated pupils. BFS is a genuinely comprehensive school that provides a knowledge-based education for pupils of all backgrounds. We teach an unashamedly academic curriculum consisting of the best that has been thought and said and English is at the heart of this.

PARENTAL CHOICE

With waiting lists in each year group and 2019 GCSE results placing us amongst the top schools in the country for progress, we are a hugely popular school. Demand for places is very high as parents want the combination of a BFS education and our distinctive small school feel for their children.

THE DEPARTMENT

We have a knowledge-based curriculum. It is is written in advance (mainly in a ‘mastery booklet’ format) by all members of the English Department and directed by the Head of Department and Second in Department. The vast majority of the planning is now ready for teaching and saves teachers a great deal of planning on a day to day basis. You will be led by excellent leaders and you will be working with a team of subject-specialists.

The department is housed in 5 dedicated classrooms, each equipped with interactive ‘Promethean’ boards. English teachers have a maximum of 5 teaching groups. In addition to their own classrooms, teachers have access to a departmental office which provides a quiet working space. The close knit team meet on a weekly basis.

Results in English are outstanding.
