Summary

Wimbledon College is a voluntary aided secondary school for boys located in London, with a current enrolment of 1,258 pupils, slightly above its capacity of 1,249. The school operates under the Jesuit tradition, which emphasizes the holistic development of students, fostering a caring and disciplined community. The ethos of the school is rooted in the principles of St Ignatius of Loyola, encouraging pupils to recognize their potential and contribute positively to society.

The curriculum at Wimbledon College is designed to support high academic achievement, with a strong focus on individual progress. The school prides itself on maintaining high standards and offers a range of extracurricular activities to promote personal growth and development outside the classroom. The dedicated staff provide support and guidance to help students excel in their studies.

Currently, the Governing Body is exploring the possibility of converting to academy status under the Sancta Familia Academy Trust, in alignment with the Archdiocese of Southwark's initiative for Catholic schools. This proposal is under consultation with stakeholders, including parents and the wider community, to ensure that the transition, if pursued, aligns with the best interests of the students and the school community.
