Wimbledon High School GDST is an independent day school for girls aged 4 to 18, situated in the heart of Wimbledon, London. Founded in 1880 by the Girls’ Day School Trust, the school occupies a town-centre site featuring Victorian buildings and modern additions, including a dedicated STEAM tower. Its playing fields at Nursery Road possess significant sporting heritage as the original home of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. The school focuses on fostering intellectual curiosity and resilience, encouraging pupils to explore a broad range of academic and co-curricular opportunities.

Selectivity:
Academic
Admissions for the Senior School at the primary entry point of Year 7 are academically selective. The evaluation process consists of two distinct phases: an initial stage involving written papers in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, followed by an invited stage featuring a creative assessment day that measures problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. Occasional vacancies for other year groups also require academic testing in English, Mathematics, and reasoning. Conversely, entry into Reception is determined by a ballot system rather than academic ability.
Boarding:
Day Only
