Wandsworth School, with nearly 100 years of history, is fondly remembered by its former pupils as one of the best schools in London. Through its history it can boast being one of London’s largest grammar schools, a grammy winning 200 strong choir, huge specialist trade workshops and science laboratories and its own planetarium.

Finally closed in 1989, the school now exists only in the form of The Old Wandsworthians Memorial Trust, former Old Wandworthians Rugby Football Club members and Wandsworth School Choir Group.

The trust was set up as a charitable organisation with the following aims:

• The furtherance of sporting and educational activities and the provision of welfare benefits for former members of the Old Wandsworthians Association and associates and former pupils and teachers of Wandsworth school, Wandsworth; former members of the Old Wandsworthians RFC and members of their immediate family and former and current members of Wandsworthians RFC whose application is supported by the Committee of Wandsworthians RFC.

• The provision of a permanent memorial for former pupils and teachers of Wandsworth School, Wandsworth, and the promotion of the gathering and association of former pupils and teachers of Wandsworth School, Wandsworth, former members of the Old Wandsworthians Association and associates, former members of the Old Wandsworthians RFC and former and current members of Wandsworthians RFC.

The war memorial is located at St Cecilia’s School, which was built on the same site as Wandsworth School and opened in September 2003. The School became custodians of our ‘Memorial’ in 2015, where a Service of Remembrance is held every year.
