I’ve been at Putney since Year 7, very much attracted by the school’s Textiles department. I’ve been able to explore my creativity since day one.

We’ve been hands on and creating in the studio right from the start and I’ve really enjoyed helping in Textiles clubs and even giving talks about Fashion and the creative college application process.

The transition into Sixth Form from the lower school offers a lot more freedom, especially in the dress code! The communal spaces are really open and welcoming and the Sixth Form centre is a great place to connect with your friends. I enjoy studying in the Futures Hub – it’s so full of greenery it’s almost as though you are outside when you’re studying. The food in the diner is great too – everything from the muffins to the salad bar.

I’m applying to Ravensbourne for Foundation Fashion – the process is a little bit different to UCAS because you apply directly to the schools and you need a portfolio. There’s been a massive amount of careers support and the teachers in the Art and Textiles departments have been a huge support, helping me put everything together.

Three words to describe Putney: Creative, supportive and inspirational!
