London’s most dynamic and forward thinking school

We are a down-to-earth, high achieving and unashamedly ambitious school where girls achieve exceptional results and go on to pursue a broad range of interests at impressive destinations in the UK and abroad.

Outstanding education from 4–18 years

As one of the largest schools of the Girls’ Day School Trust, we provide a happy and progressive environment for more than 1000 pupils aged between 4 and 18 years and have a reputation for academic excellence and expert pastoral care.

Our modern approach covers everything from ground-breaking research into the impact of nature on academic performance to exploring the science of how pupils learn.

Our leafy campus sits on Putney Hill in south west London, close to the River Thames. The Senior School and Sixth Form Centre adjoin the Junior School, allowing the sharing of not only ethos and culture but also, many facilities.

Inclusive

We offer a holistic education that focusses on the individual and is outward looking – encouraging integrity, compassion, respect and social responsibility.

Innovative

Forward-thinking in our approach to teaching and learning, ours is a culture that is modern, relevant and inspires the ideas-makers of the future.

Intellectual

Scholarly in our approach to learning, we are creative in our thinking and bold in our ambitions.

Intrepid

Interested and interesting, we are unafraid to stretch our wings and to blaze trails – curious to explore and to challenge limits.

Putney High School is a dynamic place to work, offering a range of career opportunities and benefits.

We are consistently ranked among the top performing schools both in London and the UK and are known for our ground-breaking initiatives in everything from biophilia and design thinking to the science of learning, and for our leading co-curricular programme.

Ours is an incredible community in which to teach, work and learn. With a focus on continued professional development, membership of leading organisations and a superb package of personal benefits provided by the GDST, this is an opportunity to play a role in a warm and inclusive organisation which has been a powerful voice in education for over 150 years.
