Beyond WHS

A WHS alumna benefits from the support of a close-knit Wimbledonian community whilst also belonging to one of the largest female alumnae networks in the world, a GDST network of over 100,000 individuals whose shared experiences and values represent a wealth of expertise and advice.

You become an alumna as soon as you leave Wimbledon High and, along with former staff, are automatically invited to join the Wimbledon High Alumnae network. 

You will receive regular e-newsletters, news and invitations by email or can keep in touch via social media  via our WHS Alumnae Facebook  page or joining our group on LinkedIn .

Giving Back

Wimbledonians stride out to become changemakers and innovators, experts and specialists and we are proud as well as grateful for their willingness to share their skills, experiences and life-lessons to enrich the lives of all. 

Whether it’s providing career inspiration at our Futures Fair, holding a lunchtime Careers Conversation , or mentoring other generations of alumnae, Wimbledonians remain a crucial part of school life. In this way, our alumnae continue to shape the future of the school, as well as keeping in touch with peers at our regular events and reunions.
