We are high-achieving and down-to-earth and offer an academic and broad curriculum with a very modern edge.
'It is hugely exciting to be leading a school that is a byword for innovation and thoroughly modern scholarship'
Your application has been successful; you excelled in the entrance test, impressed our staff at interview and now you’ve gained a place at Putney High School. But what happens next?
You’ll receive more detailed information from our Admissions team in due course, but in the meantime, we’ll show you what to expect over the coming months.
We want to get to know you before you join us in September. To do this, we invite new students to a series of introductory events:
We invite all new pupils who will be joining us for the first time to a settling in day, filled with fun activities and ice-breaker games. We run a fact-finding tour around the school, and you’re given a map so that you can familiarise yourself with the building and grounds.
This event includes our current Junior School pupils, in a Senior School taster day for the entire new Year 7 group. Students experience a typical Putney day, with three lessons in the morning (e.g. Art, Science and a Language) as well as a music class. You will get to know your Form Tutor and group, with the chance to meet a few of your new subject teachers. There is also the opportunity to sample new uniform from SchoolBlazer.
In the last few weeks of the summer term of Year 6, a teacher from Putney will come to visit you at your Primary school. This is a great chance for us to get to know you better and to offer you a friendly face for when you arrive.
Starting Secondary School can be daunting but we’re confident that once you’ve been here for a few days, you’ll feel part of the Putney family. We make sure of this by giving you the best start possible.
Putney is a nut-free school, but that’s about the only thing you won’t see on our menu over a typical term. We have a wide selection of dishes, with hot and cold food served at every lunchtime.
The Co-Curricular offering at Putney is as unique as each of
our pupils. We offer 200 clubs per week and 150 trips per year, across
the Super-Curriculum, Art, Drama, Music and Sport.
So much to get involved in and a great way to make new friends throughout the school.
As an eco-friendly school, we are fortunate to benefit from excellent public transport links, and operate several school bus routes from around South West London.
