Life outside the classroom

Learning is at the heart of everything we do but it doesn’t all happen in the classroom.

Volunteering

As a London school, we actively engage with our community so whether you’re volunteering in a local hospital, litter-picking on Putney Heath or even bushwhacking on Wimbledon Common, there are lots of opportunities to make a difference.

Putney students have a voice and a keen political awareness, regularly fundraising and campaigning on issues that matter to them.

Co-curricular Clubs

With over 150 co-curricular activities to get involved in – from sports teams to music and drama, clubs, societies, debates and international trips – there are plenty of opportunities to try something new, learn new skills and have fun with friends along the way.

Trips

Putney has a global outlook which is reflected in an exciting programme of trips to destinations both close to home and around the world. Regular sports and choir tours add many more destinations to the mix.

In recent years, flashes of Putney purple have been spotted in the following locations:

  • On the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, as part of an Outlook expedition
  • In a Shanghai classroom, during our cultural exchange to China
  • On the canals of Amsterdam, for a History of Art trip
  • In Costa Rica, during one of several Spanish trips offered
  • Eating a madeleine in a café in Paris, or a bratwurst in Tübingen
  • At NASA HQ in Florida
  • The large hadron collider at CERN in Switzerland
