Fulham Cross Girls' School and Language College: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 44 families put Fulham Cross Girls' School and Language College as their first choice and 205 named it as one of their preferences, for 94 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 66 in 2021 to 44 in 2026, while places went from 133 to 94.
39% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Hammersmith and Fulham, 64% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 92% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Hammersmith and Fulham lodged 69 appeals against secondary school offers; 58 reached a hearing and 2 succeeded (3.4% of those heard).
