About Fulham Pre-Prep School

Life at Fulham Pre-Prep is fun.  Our primary aim is to have pupils who are happy and engaged, who develop a love of learning including the skills of collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication, alongside a resilience that enables them to learn from challenges and use this to achieve further success.

Against a backdrop of testing and assessment in London Pre-Prep schools, my colleagues and I have a rare opportunity to offer pupils the chance to guide their own learning, offering a holistic and dynamic curriculum delivered on a daily basis.

On its own dedicated site our Pre-Prep offers pupils, from their first day in Nursery to the end of Year 2, an opportunity to experience a breadth of education that encompasses a creative curriculum. The fundamentals are rooted in the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage but also go much further, with investigative and enquiry opportunities, alongside many specialist teachers bringing their own magic of other subjects, such as sport, ICT or the creative arts.

The staff body is one of the school’s greatest strengths and I am delighted to lead a team who care deeply about our pupils and are fully committed to ensure that every child fulfils their potential.  If you are interested in joining our fabulous family, I very much look forward to meeting you.

Joanna Copland

Head, Fulham Pre-Prep

About Fulham School

Fulham School is independent and co-educational, providing a rich and diverse curriculum to boys and girls from Reception upwards. Co-education and celebrating diverse abilities across academic, creative and sporting pursuits are at the heart of all we do.

There are three stages of the school, each with its own distinct identity, contributing to the breadth of each pupil’s experience as they progress:

Fulham Pre-Prep occupies a spacious site on Fulham High Street near Putney Bridge, including a lovely Victorian building, a modern purpose-built block and outdoor play, garden and sports spaces. Fulham Prep and Fulham Senior are located in a magnificent building on Greyhound Road with around an acre of outdoor space including a playground and sports pitch and has dedicated access to excellent local sports facilities.

Fulham School was founded in 1996 by Jane Emmett, who remains a governor. Since that time it has grown from a single class to a school of over 700 pupils while retaining the warmth and family atmosphere that Jane instilled.

In 2014 Fulham School was proud to join the global Inspired Group. Inspired educates over 31,000 students across an international network of 42 schools on five continents. Being part of the group gives us a remarkable wealth of talent and experience on which to draw and exposes our pupils to global perspectives and the best in educational approaches across the world.

We opened our Senior School in 2017, and officially became Fulham School (incorporating Fulham Pre-Prep, Fulham Prep and Fulham Senior) in 2018. The Prep School continues to prepare children for a range of destinations at 11+ and 13+. We believe that each pupil should follow the path that is right for them and are proud of the diversity of our outcomes – we regularly send pupils to 30 or more schools across London and nationwide. Fulham Senior remains one of the options available, not the only optional available, to Prep pupils.

When founding our Senior School we were guided first by parents and others in our community: we all felt there was a clear need for a local co-educational through-school that was not distorted by artificial and heavily tutored selection and an overly narrow set of educational outcomes. Fulham School seeks to meet that need, but to do more. We stand against some of the constraints and frustrations that mar the present system, and we offer a distinctive curriculum and fresh approach that aims to provide a genuine alternative.
