Fulham Cross Academy

Fulham Cross Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in the Fulham area of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, England. It is a STEM specialist school.

History
It was previously known as Henry Compton Secondary School but reopened as Fulham College Boys' School in September 2012.

Previously a foundation school administered by Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council, in March 2013 Fulham College Boys' School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Fulham Cross Academy Trust.

In September 2020 the school was renamed Fulham Cross Academy and accepted girls for the first time, becoming coeducational. The main kingwood building is Grade II listed and has been refurbished from 2020 to 2021.

Results
The school's result has continuously been ranked one of the best in London. 99 per cent of boys achieved five A*-C grades in 2013, up 23 per cent from three years ago. 64 per cent achieved 5 A*-C grades, including English and maths. That compares with 49% of students who got five or more GCSEs at A*-C, including English and maths. This is now well above the national average and shows outstanding student progress. The school this year has had particularly outstanding results in science (100% of students achieved A*-C in Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and Languages (92% A*-C in Spanish).
