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.
