Putney High School

General information

Our ethos is one of putting girls first, with academic excellence, wellbeing and opportunity at its heart.

We achieve this by:

Creating a warm and supportive community

Nurturing a love of learning

Promoting a can-do culture, where girls have fun and can take risks, secure in the knowledge they are supported

Inspiring a sense of ambition and adventure

Offering fabulous opportunity in Art, Design, Drama, Music and Sport.

Academic Excellence
Staff are passionate about their subjects, keen to nurture the same spirit of academic curiosity and intellectual enquiry in girls. Ours is a creative, innovative environment, where pupils are encouraged to take pleasure in discovery, through hands-on learning for example.
All girls have their own iPads from Year 4 upwards.

Wellbeing
As important to us as academic excellence is the wellbeing of our community. We respect one another and recognise all girls are individuals, each making her own positive and valuable contribution.

Opportunity
This is underpinned by fabulous opportunities within Art, Design, Drama, Music and Sport as part of a vibrant co-curriculum programme. On average, girls take part in 8 – 10 hours of such activities outside the classroom each week.

Network
We are part of the Girls Day School Trust, the largest single educator of girls in the UK and a charity with a long history of pioneering innovation in the education of girls. There is a great buzz here: do come and see.
