[edit] History
Wallington High School for Girls was established in 1689. The school had its beginnings in a small building suited for 250 girls. The school building has since changed many times, and now accommodates an estimated 1260 students, according to the school's prospectus. In 2004, the school became an engineering school, and in 2007 became a healthy school. The school also donates yearly to the National Donkey Hospice as mufti days are organised by the girls.[1]
[edit] Notable Alumnae
- Lucy Porter (comedian) attended the school in the 1990s.
- Emily Benn (the Labour Party's youngest ever parliamentary candidate) left the school in 2006.
