Co-curricular Life
Sixth Form
Leadership
Life at the top of the school gives you the platform to develop many of the skills and aptitudes you will need in the future. The Head Student Team and Prefect roles are hotly contested at the end of Year 12. Become a House Captain, lead Med Soc, edit a student magazine, or take on one of the many club, prefect and student leadership roles on offer.
Sport & Fitness
Whether you want to keep fit, just play, or compete at the highest level, there are a huge range of options in both team and individual sports including lacrosse, netball, rowing and football.
Putney has on-site facilities for a wide array of sports, dance, strength and conditioning, and the Sixth Form Centre boasts its own Fitness Suite. A short distance away you’ll have access to our playing fields, athletics track and of course, Putney’s well-equipped Boathouse, right on the famous Tideway at Putney Bridge.
Performing Arts
The Sixth Form musical is a highlight of the school year but there are many other opportunities to be in the limelight. Take the lead in the House Music or Drama Festival; you could write, produce, conduct or perform. There are theatre trips, acting and writing masterclasses, a Dance Show and so many choirs and orchestras to get involved in; plenty to feed and showcase your creativity.
Volunteering & Partnerships
We like to think Putney students are both rounded and grounded! Our sixth formers are willing role models, volunteering both in school and the wider community. Why not start a club or society, or coach a school sports team? Or help and inspire local primary school children through our Horizons and West London Schools partnerships with local schools such as St Paul’s Boys and Hammersmith Academy.

Student Voice
In addition to studying for her A Levels in Economics, Politics and History, Alice has been working to highlight the ‘lack of corporate accountability’ in the food industry and is lobbying policy makers for the promotion of healthier eating through regulating advertising in public spaces and tackling junk food in sports sponsorship – particularly women’s football.
As Chair of the London Youth Board, Alice has been a prominent voice in the call for free school meals for primary age children and is now a leading representative of Bite Back, a youth activist movement which is currently taking on the global food giants to hold them to higher standards.
Business Brains
Putney is a founding member of the West London Schools Enterprise Network, which offers sixth formers the opportunity to work in mixed groups with other schools to develop leadership, negotiation, marketing and accounting skills under the guidance of top business brains.
Art, Design & Textiles
Whether your passions are engineering or furniture making, fashion or fine art, you’ll enjoy dedicated studio spaces, all the latest technology and have expert staff on hand to help you explore your creativity, whether in lessons or the many co-curricular clubs on offer.
