The Hurlingham Academy is located in the south of the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It is a fully comprehensive community school able to cater for 500-700 students between ages 11 and 16. The school does not currently have a sixth form although approval was given for one in 2009. In 2011 the school entered into a hard federation with a local primary school, Langford. The schools are independent of each other, but share a governing body, and Dr. Phil Cross is the Executive Head of both schools. In January 2015 Hurlingham and Chelsea School converted to academy status and changed its name to The Hurlingham Academy.
