About Fulham Cross Girls' School and Language College

Fulham Cross Girls' School and Language College sits within the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority, where it ranks 7th out of 11 secondary schools on Progress 8. Among its top-performing local peers are West London Free School, The Fulham Boys School, and The Hurlingham Academy. The school is a state-funded girls' secondary for ages 11 to 16, with no sixth form or nursery provision. It is currently rated Good by Ofsted following its 2022 inspection, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009. The school has a capacity of 634 but currently houses 470 pupils, and it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 219 applications for 99 places, with 40 first-preference offers made. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families seeking a single-sex state option in an area where the nearest Outstanding-rated school is Lady Margaret School, 1.3 kilometres away.
