Senior School Higher Education & Careers ⋆ Putney High School London GDST

Real World Ready

Our careers programme gets students thinking about their future from the very start of their time at school. Through discussions of finance, work-life balance and inspirational talks about the careers of the future, students develop real-world skills and mindsets that will help them to begin their working lives as well-qualified, aspirational adults.

They’re the leaders of tomorrow

Careers Guidance and Support

With help for decision-making at GCSE and A Level and one-to-one guidance on work experience with access to professionals from a wide range of industries, there is tailored support every step of the way.

Careers Week, ‘Speed Networking’ events and Alumnae Working Breakfasts all offer valuable insights into study pathways, a broad range of careers and how to make headway in a 21st century economy.

Pathways to Top Universities

Every year we see students continue a broad range of study at Russell Group universities, Oxford and Cambridge, art and music colleges, top international universities, and on degree apprenticeships.

There is specialist support for students wishing to apply to top international universities. Recent destinations have included Stanford, Yale, Princeton, McGill and IE Madrid.

Entrepreneurial Thinking

We value an entrepreneurial mindset and believe that resourcefulness, critical thinking and resilience are fundamental skills for life. Putney is a founding member of the West London Schools Entrepreneurship Programme offering students the business skills and experience they’ll need in a 21st century economy.
