“Congratulations to our Class of 2026. They are such a talented cohort, who really embraced the joy of learning, working incredibly hard over the past two years to achieve this fantastic set of A Level results. They were a tremendous support to one another, and they contributed so much to our school community. I am so proud of the intelligent, innovative and empathetic young women who celebrated with us today and know they leave us well prepared for their next steps whatever they may be. I wish them well as they take on new academic challenges and I hope that they keep the Putney spirit alive at the impressive range of institutions they go on to join. I know their impact will be felt far and wide as they go on to achieve wonderful things throughout their lives in higher education and beyond.”
