School Organisation Manager

Fulham Cross Girls’ School is a unique school that encapsulates the very best in education for young women.  A strong inclusive ethos means that all students, regardless of ability, income or faith are welcomed to our school. We celebrate the fact that the students speak 47 languages and the wealth of different cultures and values they bring.

The results that we consistently achieve are life-changing.

We recognise that our students’ best route into a successful, rich and interesting future is through education. All our staff are relentless in the pursuit of these goals, resulting in excellent GCSE results. Yet we are as far from an exam results factory as it is possible to be. Students are proud of our school and each other, students enjoy their learning very much and several commented… that they ‘love this school’. ‘Students are adamant that bullying and racism is rare and is dealt with effectively’ and another favourite: ‘A student in Year 9 wrote in her questionnaire: ‘Ours is a multicultural school.  Our school accepts everyone…  from any religion and culture’. ‘Students work harmoniously together in lessons. Relationships between staff and students are extremely positive. The atmosphere in lessons is calm, supportive and reflective.’

The love of the school isn’t limited to the students either.  In the staff questionnaire, 100% of the staff said they are proud to be a member of this school.  The parents also agree with praise including the ‘caring school and dedicated staff’. Staff turnover is low.

We believe that we have a duty to develop young women with a desire to make the world a better place and to fight for equality wherever they see inequality which is why we tie everything to our EMPOWER charter. Our strapline is ‘Empowering Tomorrow’s Women’ and we take this very seriously indeed.  For example, our Tuesday morning EMPOWER breakfasts when female captains of industry come to discuss their career path over a croissant with the students.   Or the much coveted EMPOWER badge that can only be awarded to students for truly exceptional acts for those who do the right thing when no one is looking. Or our EMPOWER days which involve all of our students getting out and about or hosting visitors in school. Over their time with us our students take part in 30 inspiring days to enhance their curriculum, their learning and their relationships with the staff and each other.

Our exam results are enough to make us an amazing school, but there is so much more to FCGS than a set of brilliant results.  FCGS is a school with a unique environment, where everyone is valued equally and where girls are able to flourish in a supportive environment that celebrates the power of a united school standing together for what we believe in.
