Fulham Cross Academy
London, SW6 6SN · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school
11th of 11 secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.0/10 against 485 of them, against 4.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.6 · 55 | 30% | 1.64 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.14 · 39 | 25% | 0.98 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.7 · 50 | 10% | 0.50 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.14 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Chess Club, Robotics Club, and STEM on Track – Karting & Mechanics. Sports include Table Tennis, Football, and Basketball. Arts options feature the Choir, Band Club, and Art Room Open Access. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 596 pupils in a capacity of 720, leaving 124 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage class sizes given the current number of spare places?
