There were strong performances across the range of subjects, reflecting the many and varied interests of Putney students. Subjects scoring particularly highly ranged from English Literature and Geography to Mandarin, Religious Studies and Spanish.

Acting Headmistress, Heidi Armstrong said,

“Despite the national doom-mongering, these A level results have shown what a fantastically accomplished year group this is, not only in their studies but just as importantly, in their lives beyond school where they have proved themselves to be interested, interesting and generally wonderfully rounded individuals.

“Our Class of 2023 have among them several GB sports women, (including a newly crowned World Champion in rowing and a European champion in lacrosse!), acclaimed writers, talented musicians and designers to name but some. I have been continually impressed by the commitment and strength of character they have shown in combining their academics with their activities outside of school, clearly with extraordinary success.

“I am delighted that their chosen courses reflect their amazingly eclectic interests and that in Putney’s typically intrepid spirit their adventures will now include studying at universities overseas.

“I would very much like to thank their parents, their teachers and all those at Putney High School who have worked so hard over the last two years to support and guide them. Congratulations to them all!”
