History
Wimbledon Chase was founded in 1907 as a county school for girls, but it became Wimbledon Chase Middle School in the 1960s when the Merton LEA was transitioning into the three-tier system. The upper age was later reduced to 11 when the LEA reverted to the two-tier system.
It was also used for the filming of the movies Growing Girls and P'tang, Yang, Kipperbang.

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
