Fulham School, originally founded as Fulham Preparatory School, is a school in Fulham, London, teaching children from the age of three up to eighteen. From its beginnings as a pre-prep and preparatory school, in 2017, it moved into also providing secondary education.[1]

The Prep school's buildings in Greyhound Road, Hammersmith, were previously used by Holborn College, and from 1981 until 1985, were the film location for the children's television programme Grange Hill.[2]

The school has a new senior school campus at Chesilton Road, Fulham, completed in March 2021, which accommodates 220 students from Year Nine onwards in a new purpose-built building.[1] [3] September 2021 saw the launch of a Sixth Form, following accreditation process for the International Baccalaureate, to be able to offer Sixth Form students the IB Diploma Programme.[4]

The school also has a nursery and pre-prep campus located on Fulham High Street.
