About Marylebone Boys School

Our History & Ethos

Marylebone Boys' School is a Free School which opened in September 2014. We have 600 boys in Years 7-11 and a mixed sixth form which launched in 2019.

We are an inner-city boys’ school with a cohort of over 49% Pupil Premium students. We are an academically rigorous school with an emphasis on good behaviour, commitment to learning and outstanding teaching, where knowledge is valued and available to all who are prepared to work for it. Expectations are high for all pupils. Those who need extra time and support will be helped and expected to achieve their full potential. Our motto is “studio et industria”, which can be translated as “through application and hard work”.

Academic rigour

Marylebone Boys’ School is an academically rigorous school. We believe that knowledge and skills are available to all who are prepared to work for it. Furthermore, we believe in setting of high expectations for all students, within a framework which is tailored to meet the distinctive needs of different groups of learners.

From day one of Year 7, we believe it is essential that our boys are offered a deep grounding in core academic subjects by engaging with essential GCSE skills as well as subject specific knowledge and understanding. We believe that this acquisition of high level knowledge combined with the application of core skills is an important partnership. Every pupil will strive to achieve the EBacc qualification, and master a wide selection of academic subjects through a five year curriculum.

Furthermore, it is our core belief that the boys will be equipped with knowledge and skills that will enable them to succeed in every aspect of their life at secondary school and beyond. For us, this means delivering an academic curriculum, as well as a Period 6 enrichment programme consisting of enrichment and intervention.

Location

We are based in a new building located in the heart of the prestigious Paddington Basin area built by Westminster City Council. We are just a stone’s throw from Paddington Station with all the benefits of Crossrail as well as the existing Underground and National Rail connections.

We also have a specialist sixth form building dedicated to teaching post-16 education with brand new classrooms in close proximity on North Wharf Road.

CPD

CPD is at the heart of our vision for teaching and learning at MBS. We aim to instil love for learning and improvement in our staff as well as our students. We are constantly aiming to improve our CPD offer and tailor it to the needs of our growing community.

This year we have employed a Lead Practitioner of Teaching & Learning in order to provide meaningful support and opportunities for teachers in a developmental way. We have also opened up new avenues for leadership development opportunities so that we can build leadership capacity across the school, this includes a Leadership Development Course aimed at aspiring and current middle leaders.

Our CPD programme works in conjunction with our Quality of Education cycle, teaching and learning priorities and appraisal policy and includes; dedicated twilight sessions rooted in one of Teaching and Learning core priorities, whole school INSET days, strategy groups focusing on literacy, SEN, curriculum development and pastoral care.

Pre-appointment checks

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to a number of safer recruitment checks, including an Enhanced DBS and Barred List check as part of Keeping Children Safe in Education, and once in post, receive further training and updates.
