OUR SCHOOL

Every student at Fulham School can enjoy an outstanding education coupled with a family atmosphere, full of fun and consideration, where they are supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. We’re known for the extremely strong secondary school preparation we provide our students, whether they stay with us or move on to another school. 

Students receive the highest quality of education without the stress at Fulham, and we are excited to be extending our school to include a new sixth form opening this September.

At Fulham School we have two goals that drive all we do:  

• To encourage the development of creative, problem-solving individuals with tenacity, kindness and secure self-worth.  
• To provide the most distinctive, forward-thinking and outward-looking co-educational environment, where diverse abilities are recognised, celebrated and given fullest expression.

What makes Fulham School unique is the way we set about achieving these goals. Most schools share the best of intentions. We seek to put them into practice in new and innovative ways. Through our dedication and love of teaching, we offer a varied curriculum to ensure every pupil can achieve success.

Uninterrupted learning – we promise every pupil can continue to learn through the COVID-19 crisis. Through our continued investment in technology, we have the agility to seamlessly transition between in-class and virtual learning as needed.
