The 2019 Ofsted Inspection Report states that: "Leaders at all levels wish to build on pupils' current academic success by improving the quality of teaching and learning, with an emphasis on supporting pupils' individual needs and developing their wider skills and experiences."

The Junior School which was located in Putney Vale (SW15) has now been moved to 17, The Downs in Wimbledon (SW20) where the Senior School is located. The school is about 12 minutes' walk from both Wimbledon Chase and Raynes Park overland stations and a 19-minute walk from Wimbledon overground station.

The grounds of the school have been landscaped and include two outdoor courts marked up for netball, hockey, volleyball and five-a-side football, a traversing climbing wall, a garden and a wooden pagoda with benches. The school has its sports ground, the Oberon Fields, situated 10 minutes from the school and offers all major sports as well as having a drama studio/concert room space in the sports pavilion.

The school operates a minibus service within the local Wimbledon / Raynes Park area and offers collections and drop-offs further afield.

Admissions process

Hall School Wimbledon admits pupils of a range of academic abilities, provided that they are judged capable of prospering within the school curriculum (mainstream academic).
