SCHOOL UNIFORM

At Fulham Cross Girls’ School we believe that our school uniform brings together our whole school community with the shared goal of empowering tomorrow’s women. We ask that all parents and carers support us in insisting on wearing full school uniform at all times, including on the journeys to and from school. For us, uniform and appearance at school are very important as they develop a shared identity, encourage taking pride in ourselves and ensure that the school maintains its positive community reputation and recognition. 

Any Fulham Cross Girls’ School uniform items can be purchased in person from Sogans in Hammersmith or through their website.

Please see our Uniform Leaflet, Student Guidance and Uniform Policy below:
