Discover Putney

The best schools are fun, supportive and inspirational environments for young enquiring minds. Putney High School is all of that and more. We believe that thinking should be “out of the box”, not “tick the box” and our infectious passion for learning means we achieve more than outstanding results: we build confident, creative thinkers and deliver an education that is truly relevant to their future.

We believe that childhood is a time to explore. Our pupils take a passionate interest in the world around them within a nurturing, happy and stimulating environment.

Senior School (11-16)

Putney High School has been expert in educating girls for over 125 years, which means we can draw on a wealth of experience in how girls learn best.

Our Sixth Form has been designed to create an environment closer to university level study, encouraging girls to push their learning and look to the future.

Life at Putney

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.
