Whether they join us in the Junior School, the Senior School, or in our Sixth Form, they join us on their own merit, and quickly become part of a happy, ambitious and vibrant community.

Scholarships and Financial Assistance
Although we are academically selective, we are “means blind” and do everything we can to ensure that as many girls as possible are able to access, and benefit from, Putney High School and the GDST’s unique approach to girl’s education.
Our scholarship programme is designed to recognise potential and offer opportunity. Expectation is high and our staff work with scholars to nurture their progress. The award of a scholarship brings opportunities and scholars are expected to participate fully in the life of the school.
In the Senior School we offer Academic, Music and Sport scholarships at 11+ (Year 7 entry). For girls aged 16+, Academic, Art, Design, Drama, Music and Sport scholarships are available. Travel scholarships in Modern Foreign Languages and Sciences are also available for internal applicants.
