Are you talking about Wimbledon High?

WHS seems to blend together with PHS and LEH for me. Seems like they are pulling the same girls with a few outliers here and there. But if your daughter is not academic I wouldn't consider any of them.

I’d add G&L to that mix as well especially if in Kensington. Very few girls from there at WHS as more likely to go to G&L or PHS due to location.
Girls at all these schools are ‘bright’ ( not sure what you mean by this in your OP?) but agree with the poster above that if your daughter isn’t interested in academics none of these are the right school for her.

I think you might find the sporty girls you are being rather disparaging about are brighter than you think. The GDST schools such as Putney and Wimbledon are pretty academic.

WHS definitely for bright girls… it’s roughly in the top 20 nationally or not?

How on earth do you know how bright other people's DDs are, OP? I love it when parents trot out lines like this (no least to show their own DC in the best academic glow!).
