Our students enjoy discovering new interests and making friends for life, nurtured and encouraged within a kind and down-to-earth community. They leave us with the character, confidence and the resourcefulness to make their mark in the world, equipped with the knowledge and real-world skills to give them the edge.
Putney pupils are spirited, vibrant and learn to think for themselves, but they also know how to have fun, and most importantly, to really enjoy their time at school.
Women of the future
Putney High School is just the beginning, it is our alumnae that tell the full story.
From the moment you become a pupil at Putney, you join an extensive and inspiring group of women who have embarked on their adult lives with spirit and the will to succeed, on a myriad of different paths.
There are so many we could mention, but here are just a few of their stories…
We value our alumnae community hugely and hope that, whatever you are doing now, you will enjoy being part of our alumnae network, staying in touch friends, telling us your news, and above all, remaining a part of the ongoing life of our school.

Suzie Longstaff, Current Headmistress“The benefits of a girls-only education are particularly apparent when entering the workplace. Putney alumnae are fearless and feisty, don't even consider that anything should hold them back, or that any career would be beyond them.
This timeline shows the history of the school, as well some highlights from our photo archive and the names of some of our notable alumnae.
Please note that the date in brackets next to an alumna’s name denotes their ‘class of’ (the year they and their classmates would have complete their A Levels/Year 13/Upper Sixth). For example, Ursula Owen (1955) is in the class of 1955.
If you would like to submit any photos to the school’s archive, please let us know by emailing alumnae@put.gdst.net you may even find it features on our timeline!
