There were high scoring subjects across the disciplines from French with 78% grade 9s to PE and English Literature with 80% and 60% respectively.

In addition, a broad range of subjects saw at least half the year group achieve grade 9 including Maths and Computer Science, as well as History and Religious Studies.

The results follow last week’s record-breaking A Level results and once again, there are strong performances across all three sciences. Chemistry saw 49% of results at grade 9, with 45% for Physics and 43% for Biology.

With discussion in the national press about a downturn in language learning, Putney’s many linguists have bucked the trend with excellent results including French and Italian with 78% and 82% grade 9s respectively, Greek at 40% and German and Latin both at 42%.

Head, Jo Sharrock said:

“It is wonderful to see our Year 11 rewarded with such fantastic results and doing so well in subjects across the board. There were some very eager faces arriving early at school today and they quickly turned into very happy faces upon receiving their results. They should be enormously proud of their achievements. As indeed are we! I look forward to seeing them back in September to begin their Sixth Form A Level studies.”
