About Wimbledon High School
An academically successful school, with meaningful partnerships placing us at the heart of our community, Wimbledon High School is a hub of intellectual activity, fun and laughter.
We are proudly a flagship school of the Girls' Day School Trust, experts in educating girls, from 4 to 18. We like to challenge and inspire our students through an innovative focus on 'play' in our Junior School and 'playful scholarship' in Seniors, which sees us embrace problem-solving, critical and disruptive thinking and creativity in and out of the classroom. It may seem a contradiction but at Wimbledon High we are as serious about play as we are about academic rigour – and indeed, believe that the one cannot exist without the other. A highly selective school, with outstanding results, our students do nine GCSEs and 3 A levels, giving them time and space to explore around, over and above the curriculum. We go off-timetable one afternoon a week for our partnerships work, which sees over 200 visiting pupils get involved in activities and which was noted as a significant strength of the school in our recent ISI inspection.
A vast array of co-curricular clubs and activities allow students to find their thing: passions and interests that they will take with them through life, as on their journey of discovery about themselves, they learn what is important to them. Excellent pastoral care, under our GROW programme, is embedded in everything we do; we teach girls to believe in their own agency and use their voices for good.
Our school aims:
Stepping in: we aim for every girl to feel known, supported, confident and able to shine at Wimbledon High.
Striding out: we aim for every girl to leave us prepared to shape the society in which she lives and works.
We will do this, across the school by:
· Encouraging resilience, independence and kindness
· Nurturing curiosity, scholarship and a sense of wonder
· Promoting excellent teaching and learning
· Running a broad, inspiring co-curricular programme
