About Ursuline High School Wimbledon

Ursuline High School Wimbledon is a girls’ Roman Catholic secondary in Merton that is heavily oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local standing. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 839 applications for 207 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4.05, with 235 families listing it as their first preference. Of those, 169 first-preference offers were made. The school’s pupil capacity is not given in the data, but the sheer volume of applications suggests demand far outstrips supply. In terms of intake demographics, the data does not provide a free school meals percentage, so it is not possible to compare directly with local or national averages here. However, the school’s religious character means it prioritises Catholic applicants, which shapes its intake profile. It is the top-ranked school in Merton by Progress 8, and sits within a local authority where five of nine secondary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
