  • A*          31%
  • A* – A    71%

“These bright young women are going to make their mark, taking their fierce intellects and creative approaches to problem solving into all walks of life, whether that is delving deep into astrophysics, tackling politics, economics, or social anthropology.” — Fionnuala Kennedy, Head, Wimbledon High School

Courses at London universities have proven particularly popular this year, with well over a fifth of students choosing top universities in the capital, the majority for STEM degrees: Imperial, University College London, King’s College London, the London School of Economics and the Royal Veterinary College London. Up to four students are heading to the USA.

“I am delighted to see the hard work or students and staff being paid off in these excellent results,” said Head Fionnuala Kennedy.

“These bright young women are going to make their mark, taking their fierce intellects and creative approaches to problem solving into all walks of life, whether that is delving deep into astrophysics, tackling politics, economics, or social anthropology. We have keen linguists taking their language studies further, geographers and English scholars continuing with their passions, and students who have secured places on very competitive arts courses, from illustration and costume design to fashion textiles and acting.

“I applaud them all for having the resilience to have kept going, despite the challenges of recent years. They have all contributed greatly to our vibrant community and I know they will take with them the values of our school as they stride out of SW19.”
