Junior Admissions

We believe that childhood is a time to explore. Our pupils take a passionate interest in the world around them and are prepared to take risks in everything they do.

Could your daughter be a Putney girl?

At Putney, we are interested in the individual, so we meet every girl who would like to join our school.

We have a friendly and informal assessment process which takes place in the January before September admission.

Register by end of October prior to the year of entry.

First Steps…

Register your daughter for 4+ at any time by completing our online application form. A non-refundable registration fee of £125 (or £200 for overseas applicants) is payable at the time of applying. All those who apply will be invited for assessment.

For 4+ (Reception) entry into the Junior School in September 2021, the friendly informal 1.5 hour assessment will take place between 4-8 January 2021. We typically admit 44 applicants into two classes of 22.

Applications for 2021 our now open, you can apply here.  The deadline for applications is Monday 2 November.  For further information, please contact admissions@put.gdst.net

For 7+ (Year 3) entry into the Junior School in September 2021, the assessment will take place on 11 or 12 November 2020. We typically admit at  least 4 applicants as the two classes expand slightly to 24 pupils.  Girls are asked to complete papers in English, Mathematics and Reasoning and they will also participate in a team building activity.  Your daughter must be 7 years old by 31 August 2021 to be eligible for 7+ entry in September 2021.

Applications for 2021 are now open, you can apply here.  The deadline for applications is Monday 19 October.  For further information, please contact admissions@put.gdst.net

Occasional Vacancies

From time to time, vacancies do arise in other year groups. Assessments for occasional vacancies will take place in November 2020. The friendly, informal assessment takes about 3 hours and girls are asked to complete assessments in English, Maths and Reasoning.

Please note, our main intake is at Reception and Year 3 and we are therefore unable to guarantee the availability of spaces in the other year groups. If a candidate is successful in their entrance assessments but no spaces are available in the year group for which they have applied, they will be placed on a waiting list until a space becomes available.

The closing date for applications is 19 October 2020. Please contact admissions@put.gdst.net for more information and to request our occasional vacancy application form.

A non refundable registration fee of £125 is payable (or £200 for overseas applications) at the time of applying.
