Welcome to Central Foundation Boys’ School

Central Foundation Boys’ School is a unique school. A blend of modern and traditional values. We are inspired by exceptional history and the success of our alumni, whilst at the same time looking always to the future.

Founded nearly 150 years ago with the purpose of transforming the lives of boys through education. We are as committed to this founding purpose today as our founder, William Rogers, was in the mid 19^th century.

At Central Foundation we are committed to all our students achieving outstanding outcomes and leaving us as young men equipped with the skills, attitudes, knowledge, understanding and qualifications necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

In recent years, the progress of students at A level and GCSE placed the school’s performance consistently in the top 10% of schools in the country. The schools performance is a result of the very high expectations the staff have of themselves and the students. Our rigorous and demanding standards in respect of uniform, behaviour, attendance and punctuality ensure the school is a happy place where learners are free to concentrate on exceptional achievement.

As a student at Central Foundation, your son will have access to a dynamic and innovative curriculum, unique exposure to businesses and industries and an ‘outstanding’ Sixth Form all within our successful, ambitious and wonderfully diverse school environment.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Mr Jamie Brownhill, Headteacher.
