“I am delighted for our marvellous class of 2024 – they are a year group mighty in intellect and talent, with a very well-developed sense of community, fun and friendship and we are all thrilled to see their brilliance rewarded with such stellar results.

“They have been extraordinarily successful not only as Putney High students but in their wider lives –among them GB Sportswomen, political campaigners, peer mentors, talented musicians, scientists, and designers.

“We are incredibly proud of all of them and delighted to see them progress on to a wonderfully diverse range of courses at first class institutions across the globe. They leave us as well rounded and balanced young people – engaged and engaging with so much to offer the world.

“These A levels results mark the beginning of a new chapter for these exceptional young women. I for one cannot wait to see what they will do next.

“Congratulations to all – this is a day for celebration.”
