[3] Previously a foundation school administered by Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council, in March 2013 Fulham College Boys' School converted to academy status.

In September 2020 the school was renamed Fulham Cross Academy and accepted girls for the first time, becoming coeducational.

The school this year has had particularly outstanding results in science (100% of students achieved A*-C in Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and Languages (92% A*-C in Spanish).

Facilities include specialist science and design and technology blocks, a multi-use Astroturf sports pitch and gym on site and a fully equipped performing arts centre.

The sixth form is housed in a building that was formerly Fulham Enterprise Studio.
