Ursuline High School

Ursuline High School in Wimbledon is a voluntary-aided, comprehensive school for Roman Catholic girls aged 11-18. It is under the Trusteeship of the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The school has a tradition of academic excellence, addressing individual needs and service in the spirit of St Angela. The curriculum equips girls with skills for the modern, global world and develops them as independent and critical learners and confident communicators. The school has moved through several phases during its history, from a small private school, to a grammar school and on to become the successful comprehensive school it is today. Ursuline High School, Wimbledon was founded from Forest Gate in 1892 when four nuns came to establish a tiny school in a private house in Worple Road. In the beginning there were three pupils, now there are 1360.
