Wimbledon High School GDST • Independent Girls School London

Welcome to Wimbledon High School, a school with each individual at its heart, where bright, quirky and grounded girls learn to find their voices and use them for good. Our community is scholarly, purposeful and full of fun. I hope you can come and experience it for yourself.

Welcome

Not one thing defines you

These are the wise words of Poorna, who came up through our Juniors, Seniors and Sixth, finding her passion for science, plants and jazz along the way and who was named GDST’s Minerva prize winner in summer 2024 for embodying the full spirit and ethos of the Girls’ Day School Trust.

Why girls only?
