Putney has a bold, open-minded and adventurous outlook on the world, which is reflected in an exciting programme of trips to destinations across London and the globe. In recent years, flashes of Putney purple have been spotted in the following locations:
Life at Senior School
Academic pursuit makes up just one aspect of a Putney student’s day. She stretches her mind in class and broadens her horizons outside. She pursues co-curricular activities in a supportive environment, which encourages her to try new things.
Pastoral
Life at Putney has a very special feel to it. We believe that from the moment a student steps through our doors, she should feel safe, supported and free to be herself. As a result, the happiness, personal development and wellbeing of our pupils comes before all else.
Putney Parent“As an ex pupil myself, it gives me huge satisfaction to know Putney continues to exceed my expectations both academically and with its pastoral care.
ISI Report“Pupils of all ages exhibit excellent behaviour and a strong moral code and are kind and courteous to each other. Pupils grow in self esteem due to encouragement by the school to value and express their own opinions, become leaders and take responsibility for their actions.
The House System
Sport
Our Sport department offers activities for every kind of player. Girls are encouraged to take part in sport to have fun, to keep fit and become part of a team. We also offer stretch and support for elite sportswomen who compete at county, national and international level.

Co-Curricular Clubs
Whether you try your hand at Bridge or Code-breaking, Sanskrit or Zumba, there are over 100 co-curricular clubs on offer before school, after school, at break and lunch times. Pupils pick their own path and can opt to be as busy (or not!) as they like in their time outside lessons.
