Putney High School

Welcome from the Head

Welcome to our school website!

Putney High School is an independent selective girls' day school located on a green and leafy site close to the heart of Putney in London. Spacious lawns surrounded by flowerbeds, shrubs and trees create a tranquil and secluded environment.

We are a school with a family ethos where each girl encounters stimulating personal and intellectual challenges, whilst receiving care and guidance. This ensures that all girls are successful in this happy, enriched environment. The girls here take pleasure in discovery and gain an understanding of the ways of life – they work together to engage in discussion, to challenge the opinions of each other and those from outside.

We anticipate that each girl will contribute in her own individual way to our school, through her studies and many other activities including art and design, drama, music, sport and through charity and working with the local community.

Students leave here conscious of their own worth, prepared for an independent life and capable of making a positive contribution to society. It is from this basis that they go on to pursue a variety of fulfilling careers.

Established in 1893, we are well known for providing the challenge of a rich and broad education to bright girls from 4-18. When a girl joins the school she is supported and encouraged to make the most of her own gifts. At Putney the girls are able to develop the self-confidence they need to take intellectual risks and thinking skills which allow them to make sound judgements about the world around them.

Do come and visit, meet our girls and see this for yourself!
