Central to the school’s vision of being a leading learning community, our new Science, Music, Drama and Debating Centre will celebrate science and the arts in an inspiring, cross-curricular environment.

What happens now?

• Senior School science lessons have been temporarily re-housed in high quality, bright, well-resourced laboratories, designed to meet the needs of our students in these popular and critical academic subjects.
• The kitchen area and cafeteria will undergo refurbishment as part of the project, to give an improved lunchtime experience for all pupils.
• We expect pupils to move into the new building in early 2021.
• Once the new Science, Music, Drama and Debating Centre is occupied, the temporary accommodation will be removed and the astroturf resurfaced.

The development forms phase 2 of our masterplan of significant investment in the future of Putney High School. Our exciting new Junior School adventure playground has already been built and the Junior School façade has been transformed.

Throughout the project, our priority will be the wellbeing and education of our current pupils as well as ensuring that we are a good neighbour. We will use our considerable experience of managing building works to ensure minimal disruption to our pupils, including isolating the site to limit dust and noise. All work will be carefully scheduled, including avoiding examination times.

There will of course be further updates as the project develops.
