Junior School
Hall School Wimbledon Junior School provides a happy and nurturing environment where children study a broad and exciting curriculum. By offering a well-rounded curriculum, together with an extensive range of extra-curricular activities, they aim to instil an enthusiasm and joy for learning as children progress through the school. Great emphasis is placed on practical learning and problem solving, encouraging inquisitiveness and an ability to think for oneself. To support the move from dependence to independence in these formative years, they create a culture of praise and encouragement, rewarding good behaviour, kindness and consideration for others. We believe that cultivating characteristics of resilience, adaptability, confidence, good humour, collaboration and empathy are important to our pupils’ long-term success. Boys and girls cheering each other on in a challenging cross-country race, Year 2 pupils choosing playground games so as to include their friend in a wheelchair, or childrein Year 1 helping each other to plant out seedlings in the garden – these are just a few examples of the kind, caring and happy children to be found at HSW.
Senior School
At Hall School Wimbledon we believe that anything is possible and that every pupil must engage fully in his or her own learning. The Senior School years are where children shape their own identities as young adults. Hall School Wimbledon’s nurturing pastoral care and broad curriculum supports your child on this journey.In 2020/21 97% of pupils achieved grades 9-4 with 54% of pupils achieving the top grades of 9-7. 100% of our Year 11 pupils achieved 5 or more GCSEs including English and Maths. The results significantly exceed those of other comparable non-selective schools. However, the academic ethos is shaped by a view that cultivating characteristics of resilience, adaptability, confidence, good humour, collaboration and empathy are just as important to our pupils’ long-term success. These are the qualities which make our Senior School leavers effective independent learners, and future leaders of society in a challenging world.
