WHS Juniors

Childhood is precious; it is something that needs to be celebrated and, at Wimbledon High School, we see it as our responsibility to make sure that our girls love every moment of every day they spend with us.

An education here brings the opportunity for music, art, dance, sports and a whole host of enriching co-curricular activities, with girls enjoying the use of our whole school facilities. Entrance into Reception is by 4+ ballot. Entrance into all other year groups is by academic assessment. Take a look around the site and do arrange to come and visit us.

Claire Boyd
Head of Juniors

Please Note: On 11 March 2024, the Head of Wimbledon High School, Fionnuala Kennedy, announced that Claire Boyd will be leaving at the end of the academic year, to take up the role of Head of Glendower Prep School:

“Wimbledon High Junior School has stood proudly here in SW19 for 143 years, with a strong ethos of getting the best out of the girls in our care, and lasting values that carry through each generation of girls and staff, as we live out the school motto, ex humilibus excelsa (from small things, greatness). 

“Claire will leave the legacy of having put PLAY into the heart of our academically challenging educational offer. This focus has reaped huge rewards in results and during her tenure Claire has put in place an outstanding Junior Leadership Team, with depth and breadth in their expertise as leaders in all aspects of school life. The school could not be in better shape as we head into the future.

“We will be engaging a recruitment consultancy to lead the search for a new Head of Junior School. The GDST and I are utterly committed to finding an exceptional leader as a worthy successor to Claire. In the interim, Deputy Head Sarah Chittenden, who has worked closely with Claire for the past four years, will steer the ship with my support.”
