Donhead is an independent, preparatory, day school for boys located in Wimbledon in the London Borough of Merton. It previously served as the main feeder prep school of Wimbledon College, a fellow Jesuit school located across the road. Both schools are under the governance of the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1540. Donhead takes boys aged 4 to 11, after which they often continue their secondary education at various independent schools across London, or Catholic public schools such as Stonyhurst and The Oratory School.
