The Round School

Categories: Education

It was the principal elementary school in Wimbledon Village, run as a charity school for poor children. Amongst its trustees was William Wilberforce who lived locally. Lord Nelson also donated money to the school. During the 19th century it became known as the Old Central School, and provided education until the 1960’s. It is currently in use as The Study, an independent preparatory school for girls. This photograph was taken circa 1964.
