How does Wimbledon High fulfil its aim for every girl to feel known, supported, confident and able to shine?

We asked two of our senior students to share what makes the pastoral experience at Wimbledon High so special.

From clubs and co-curricular opportunities that allow pupils to pursue their interests, to the meaningful relationships built with teachers, pastoral care is about creating an environment where every pupil feels known, supported and encouraged to be themselves.

Hear their reflections in the video and discover what makes our community such a special place to learn, grow and thrive. 💚

A trip down memory lane…

From Tasmania, Portugal, Newcastle, Shropshire, Somerset and Hampshire, the Class of 1976 came from far and wide to celebrate 50 years since leaving Wimbledon High!

What a wonderful occasion it was, full of laughter and memories about school days and a chance to celebrate lifelong friendships formed at Wimbledon High.

A particular highlight was ctching up with two of the yeargroups’ former teachers – Miss Krzysztoporska and Miss Horton - a tour of the school and looking through class photographs, school letters, magazines and treasured memorabilia - and of course lunch and cake!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the reunion such a memorable occasion. We look forward to welcoming many more alumnae back to Wimbledon High in the future.

Speech Day is always one of the most inspiring moments of the Wimbledon High School calendar, a celebration of achievement, creativity, and community.

From powerful spoken-word poetry and award-winning essays to exceptional musical performances, our students showcased the talent, confidence, and passion that define our school. It was also a special opportunity to recognise the accomplishments of students across every year group and to celebrate the invaluable role of Student Voice.

As our guest speaker, we were delighted to welcome alumna Professor Sarah Sharples, ergonomist and vice-president and dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester. Her thoughtful reflections on future careers, resilience, and embracing new opportunities offered invaluable inspiration for our students as they look ahead. And special guest and former Physics teacher Mr Yee who taught Sarah at WHS.

To our departing Year 13 students, we wish you every success in the exciting journey ahead. You will always be part of the Wimbledon High School community. Congratulations to all our award winners, performers, and everyone who helped make Speech Day such a memorable celebration. 💙

Our Rowing Annual Dinner was a fantastic evening celebrating the hard work, achievements, and team spirit of WHSBC this season. It was wonderful to see rowers, parents, and coaches come together to reflect on an incredible year of racing and the unveiling of the newly named boat in honour of our captain Imogen.

From hearing for some WHSBC alumnae to the awards and disco, it was a lovely evening for the community. Thank you to everyone who contributed and made the evening such a success!
