Уимблдон орта мектебінің тарихы мен дамуы

The school was greatly affected by the Second World War. Pupil numbers fell as London was bombarded during the Battle of Britain. Under the Education Act 1944, the school applied for and was granted "direct grant" status. It chose to become private when the scheme was abolished during the 1970s. A new junior school building was opened in 2000. New buildings were added such as a design and technology centre, new science labs and the Rutherford Centre for the Performing Arts, named after the actress Margaret Rutherford, an alumna of the school. In 2022 a 3 year building project completed, known as Project Ex Humilibus, from the school motto. The development included:
a STEAM tower
a Sixth form centre with bespoke spaces for Year 12 and 13
the relocation of the dining halls
a brand new assembly hall
a "Playground in the Sky" an enclosed play area for junior girls on the rooftop of the Assembly Hall

Wimbledon High School has a longstanding relationship with the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the organisers of the Wimbledon Tennis Championship. The school's present sporting grounds at the nearby Nursery Road were the original home of the Wimbledon Championship and the site of the 1908 London Olympics tennis matches. Each year, multiple Wimbledon High School students are selected as ballgirls at the Championship.

In 2023 student Hannah Klugman was the youngest ever player to qualify for a W100 tennis event at age 15 years 1 month and 22 days.

Rowing is a very popular sport at Wimbledon High School. The school's Boat Club (WHSBC) is headed by British world champion and Olympic silver medalist Gillan Lindsay. They can boast of numerous trophies and prestigious placements, including winning the National Schools' Regatta and qualifying for the Henley Royal Regatta.

Originally there was no house system, but now girls are placed in one of the four houses upon entry. There are inter house competitions and activities held throughout the year notably: The Big Draw, House Music, Junior Drama, Inter house sports, Sports Day, Off Timetable Day, House University Challenge, and House Debating.
