FBB offers a powerful, evidence-based partnership designed to meet this challenge head-on. We integrate deeply into your school to provide a long-term, relational intervention that re-engages vulnerable students and strengthens whole-school culture.
Our unique model combines a social-emotional learning curriculum with therapeutic mentoring, all contextualised through football. This isn’t just an extracurricular club; it’s a structured programme built on Five Pillars of support, from the classroom to the pitch, delivered by dedicated practitioners who become trusted adults within your school community. The impact is clear and measurable: 97% of FBB students at risk of exclusion remain in school, and they are 10 times more likely to achieve a pass in English and Maths GCSEs compared to national benchmarks.
Beyond the data, FBB transforms school culture. Partner schools report significant reductions in suspensions, improved student-staff relationships, and stronger Ofsted outcomes, particularly in behaviour and attitudes. We also support your staff through tailored CPD sessions focused on relational and trauma-informed practice.
As a charity, we deliver this intensive support at a significantly reduced cost, representing exceptional value compared to the financial and human cost of managed moves or alternative provision. We invite PiXL members to explore how FBB can become a seamless extension of your inclusion strategy, helping every student to belong, engage, and achieve.
