The Study is turning 130!

In June 2023 we will be celebrating the school’s 130th birthday.

The Study was founded in 1893 by Miss Sidford, the governess of Lady and Sir Arthur Holland. Miss Sidford taught their 3 daughter’s in… the study!

The Study has come a long way from these humble beginnings almost 130 years ago and has remained very much a part of the Wimbledon Village community.

Alumnae news

We love to hear from old Study girls about what they are getting up to today.

Miranda Jagusch (class of 2021), was offered a place with the National Children’s Orchestra, playing her French horn. Miranda had a keen love for music during her time at The Study and showed great talent. Her hard work and enthusiasm has paid off and we look forward to hearing more about her musical pursuits.

Maya Lane (class of 2015), has found success as a recording artist and released her first solo single this year, Still The Same. Maya gave a memorable performance of Maria in a Study production of The Sound of Music

A family member of one of the earliest Study pupils, alum Eily Keary, contacted us recently for any information we had about Eily’s time at school. A search through The Study archives revealed that Eily and her sister, Elsie, had performed in a production of Antigone in 1905! A delightful discovery for both Eily’s family and us.

Eily went on to become a naval architect and aeronautical design engineer. The Royal Institute of Navel Architects issues an annual Award in her name. Extraordinary achievements by any standard.
