William Morris Sixth Form
About William Morris Sixth Form
William Morris Sixth Form sits in the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority as a dedicated 16-19 state sixth form, a relatively unusual model that sets it apart from the secondary schools that dominate the area. Among its same-type peers in the borough, it ranks behind West London Free School, The Fulham Boys School, and The Hurlingham Academy, though those schools are all 11-18 secondaries rather than standalone sixth forms. The school is led by headteacher Mary Berrisford and currently has 801 pupils on roll, with a capacity of 900. Notably, 100% of its students are eligible for free school meals, a figure that reflects the school's specific intake and its role in the community. The nearest Outstanding-rated school in the LA is Sacred Heart High School, just 0.6 km away, but William Morris itself holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2019.
