Discover Sixth Form

Sixth Form life is rooted in learning: in your subject lessons, conversations with your peers, extra-curricular activities, at lectures and exhibitions. Our sixth formers are inquisitive, original-thinkers, ambitious in their pursuit of deeper understanding and open to new perspectives.

Ambitious, compassionate, vibrant, inquisitive, down-to-earth, creative, intelligent: a small selection of words that we would use to describe sixth formers here at Putney.

Educational excellence

Our Sixth Form curriculum has been specifically designed to create an environment closer to university level study, encouraging students to adopt the skills they will need to continue their education at the world’s best institutions.

Putney’s bespoke Curriculum Plus programme will give you the opportunity to explore subjects outside your comfort zone, in more detail and to go beyond A Level courses via a series of enriching lectures as part of your timetable.

Our seminar style teaching combines academic rigour with the expectation that girls will lead conversation and debate with their teachers and peers, taking responsibility for their own learning to the next level.

Life in the Sixth Form

Academic pursuit makes up just one proportion of a Sixth Form student’s day. They stretch their mind in class and broaden their horizons outside. They pursue co-curricular activities in a supportive environment, which encourages them to try new things.

At Sixth Form, developing the whole person is essential for application for Higher Education. We want to put you in the best position to develop your skills and demonstrate merit both in and outside the classroom.
