London’s most dynamic and forward thinking school

We are a down-to-earth, high achieving and unashamedly ambitious school where girls achieve exceptional results and go on to pursue a broad range of interests at impressive destinations in the UK and abroad.

Outstanding education from 4–18 years

As one of the largest schools of the Girls’ Day School Trust, we provide a happy and progressive environment for more than 1000 pupils aged between 4 and 18 years and have a reputation for academic excellence and expert pastoral care.

Our modern approach covers everything from ground-breaking research into the impact of nature on academic performance to exploring the science of how pupils learn.

Our leafy campus sits on Putney Hill in south west London, close to the River Thames. The Senior School and Sixth Form Centre adjoin the Junior School, allowing the sharing of not only ethos and culture but also, many facilities.

Putney is consistently ranked among the top performing schools both in London and the UK
