Overview
Overview
Sixth-form education was established at Hall School Wimbledon in September 2023, extending a co-educational day-school route that now runs from the junior years through age 18. The junior phase serves ages 7 to 11 and the senior phase ages 11 to 18; there is no boarding. The later addition of Sixth Form gives the community a distinct recent chapter within its all-through structure.
The senior curriculum includes art and design, computing, drama, English, geography, history, mathematics, modern languages, music, physical education, religious studies, PSHE and science. Years 10 and 11 take AQA GCSE History. In the preparatory years, French, philosophy, performing arts and specialist teaching in science, art, music and drama broaden the offer. The senior day runs to 5pm and includes several hours of sport alongside classroom, laboratory and specialist-room teaching.
Pastoral care is organised around a Form Tutor, a Key Stage Lead and the Deputy Head Pastoral. English as an Additional Language support is provided one-to-one or in small groups after an arrival assessment. Direct admission begins with an enquiry and an open day or individual tour, followed by registration, a taster day and an interview or assessment where required.
