Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers We have put together this Starting school 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. That is one of the key reasons that all primary schools in Hammersmith & Fulham have an Ofsted rating of ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’. Competition for places is high, but I’m confident that there is a local primary school 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 primary school has something different to Cllr Culhane today, and at primary school 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.

Cllr Larry Culhane Cabinet Member for Children and Education Hammersmith & Fulham Council
