Sport
Sport is an integral part of life at Wimbledon High where students have the opportunity to learn and participate in a wide range of activities and sports which contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
By providing inspiring teaching and high-level coaching we ensure that each student at Wimbledon High is supported to reach their potential, participates with enjoyment and develops a lifelong love of being active.

Our three strands of sport
There is a focus on three key areas of the PE and Games Curriculum, ensuring all students are catered for.
Recreational – At beginner level or new to the sport and looking for fun and informal competitive opportunities such as house competitions and friendly fixtures.
Development – For students looking to develop their skills and performance and wanting to represent the school in competitive fixtures on a regular basis.
Performance – For students displaying a high level of skill and named within the A team squad list.
Facilities
On the main school site we have a 25m swimming pool, sports hall with cricket nets, fully equipped gym and a designated space for strength and conditioning.
A ten-minute walk away is our sportsground, the original home of the All England Club, with numerous tennis / netball courts, a full size astro for hockey and football, cricket nets, athletics facilities, pavilion for team and parent refreshments and changing rooms.
