Ballboys and Ballgirls in Wimbledon

Volunteers from Institutions and Schools have provided ballboys and ballgirls for many years:

Shaftesbury Homes supplied the ballboys to Wimbledon Championships in the 1920s & 1930s. Dr Barnardo’s Homes, from 1946 – 1966 and Fortescue House School (part of the Shaftesbury Homes) in 1967- 1968.

The move to using Schools really began in 1969 when The Wandsworth School and Nork Park County School joined the Merton Secondary Schools in providing ballboys.

Although some of original schools still send boys and girls to Wimbledon many have changed their names or status as a result of reorganisation or amalgamation.

• Bishopsford Community School, Morden
