Wellbeing
Sixth Form
Your happiness and wellbeing are our number one priority; we know they are fundamental to how you approach your life and your studies. Your tutors are part of an extensive pastoral team, there to help you manage your time and support you one-to-one, not only academically, but on a personal and emotional level.
Inclusive Community
Putney is a kind and caring community: open-minded, inclusive and down to earth. Everyone is valued and celebrated for who they are, and this is never truer than in the Sixth Form where our students feel a real sense of belonging and build friendships that will last a lifetime.
No one goes ‘under the radar’ and our dedicated Wellbeing Department offers a safe and welcoming space to visit, either for some quiet reflection, or a listening ear.
“ There is a caring and holistic approach to the health and wellbeing of pupils, who are supported academically and emotionally by the school’s pastoral team.” ISI Report
BREATHE
Putney’s BREATHE programme is part of a holistic approach to wellbeing that builds awareness and helps students to develop a healthy sense of self, focusing on their own wellbeing, the wellbeing of others and their wider environment.
It Starts with Me
We believe that in all senses, “it starts with me,” so we focus not only on personal growth but on encouraging integrity and compassion alongside a genuine sense of individual and social responsibility.
Our students learn to listen and respond respectfully, to disagree agreeably and to see the bigger picture beyond their own ideas or experience.
There are many opportunities for positive engagement and meaningful action through volunteering and our many partnerships programmes.
House System
Sixth Formers take leadership positions in each of our four Houses. It’s a great way to build teamwork and leadership skills, get to know other year groups and enjoy healthy competition. Individual House charities benefit from fundraising activities throughout the year.
