I’m so pleased to welcome you and your children to Fulham Cross Academy Trust. After 16 years of service within the Trust, it is a privilege to now lead this exceptional school as Head. With a background in Literature, a National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH), and a deep commitment to the progress and futures of young people, I am proud to be guiding a school that champions both academic excellence and personal growth.

Fulham Cross Academy is a forward-thinking, inclusive school at the heart of the borough, with a strong and growing STEM focus. Our students benefit from an exciting blend of tradition and innovation, learning in state-of-the-art facilities that continue to evolve- ensuring they’re well-prepared to meet the demands of the modern world with confidence and creativity.

Our vision is simple: to inspire every student to achieve beyond what they thought possible. We believe in the power of high expectations, balanced with a warm, supportive environment where every individual is valued. Our staff are deeply dedicated professionals, committed to their own development as well as that of every student. This shared culture of continuous improvement enables our young people to leave us not just with outstanding results, but with the mindset and character to thrive beyond the classroom.

At Fulham Cross, learning extends far beyond lessons. We offer a wide range of enrichment activities - from international travel and cultural experiences to digital innovation and personal development programs. Our newly refurbished Grade II-listed Kingwood building, alongside cutting-edge science labs, an e-suite focused on gaming and digital technologies, and a new sports hall and astroturf coming in 2025, ensures that our students are surrounded by opportunity.

I am thrilled to be leading such a progressive school at an exciting point in its journey. I warmly invite you to explore our website, visit us in person, and see firsthand the vibrant, ambitious community we are building at Fulham Cross Academy.

We look forward to welcoming you.
