Fulham Cross Girls' School and Language College is performing well overall, with a strong ethos that promotes personal development and a supportive community environment. This is the first inspection since the school became an academy in 2013, having previously been judged outstanding. The school has developed an ambitious curriculum that effectively meets the needs of its students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in ensuring consistent support for SEND pupils and providing effective guidance for reading choices.
