Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers We have put together this Moving on up information, along with our Hints and tips booklet to help make it as easy as possible for you to find the school that is the right fit for your family. Having been brought up in the borough – going to school here and later spending seven years working in a school – I know we have some of the most dedicated, caring and inspirational teachers and school staff in the country. In striving to attain impressive standards, while also supporting the well-being and development of pupils, they exemplify everything that is great about education. We have a broad range of schools, offering a comprehensive range of opportunities and our secondary school pupils make above national average progress. Competition for places is high, but I’m confident that there is a local secondary in Hammersmith & Fulham that can inspire your child to achieve their best while enjoying a vibrant school community. My strong advice is that you visit as many schools as you can, as every secondary school has something different to offer your family. Open evenings and mornings give you a valuable opportunity to get a feel for the school and meet the headteacher, staff and current students. Dates and times of the open evenings and mornings for each school are in this brochure and online. I really hope you find the information about the borough’s schools, and the advice on how to apply, helpful and wish you all the best in making your decision.

Distance from home to school Unless indicated otherwise in the individual admission criteria for each school, distances are calculated using a straight line (as the crow flies) measurement from the child’s home “address point” (determined by Ordnance Survey data) to the main school gate (as determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council using its computerised measuring system). The child living closest to the school will receive the highest priority; accessibility by car or public transport will be disregarded. If applicants share the same address point (for example, those who live in the same block of flats or shared house), priority will be given to those who live closest to the ground floor, then by ascending flat number order. Routes are measured to four decimal places (if necessary).
