The Ursuline High School, Wimbledon (“the Ursuline”) is a voluntary-aided, Roman Catholic Secondary School for girls aged 11 to 19. The school is based at Crescent Road and the Downs, Wimbledon, London. It was founded in 1892 by the Ursulines and was affiliated with the Ursuline Preparatory School, its previous feeder preparatory school, now closed. Since 1986 it has worked in partnership with Wimbledon College, the high school's brother school, and the two share a joint Sixth Form.
The school specialises in Business & Enterprise and Modern Foreign Languages. It was previously designated as a Gifted & Talented Lead School.
