Introduction

 

Putney High School is an independent day school for girls based in Putney, London. It is part of the Girls’ Day School Trust, a network of 25 schools and academies in the UK known for their exceptional educational provision and high pastoral standards. In line with the motto Fortiter et recte (Bravely and rightly), the school moulds students into independent thinkers and productive members of modern-day society. [1]

 

In the Senior School, the academic provision is aimed at stretching and challenging pupils. Widely recognised for its cross-curricular qualities, it consists of an ambitious in-class programme, comprising technology, languages, social studies, sciences and many other disciplines relevant to contemporary existence.  

 

With over 200 co-curricular activities available, Putney High School sets a strong standard for a well-rounded school experience. As well as sporting and creative arts activities, the school runs a number of societies that help refine pupils’ soft skills, including Feminist Book Society, Debate Training and Anthropology Society. [2]

 

Providing extensive pastoral care that’s focused on the emotional well-being and personal development of each student, Putney High fosters a warm learning environment where ambition and goal-setting flourish. The pastoral system is supported by a team of professionals who approach their responsibilities with keen attentiveness, deep compassion and a specialised skill set tailored to meet the cohort’s diverse and unique needs.

 

Recently, 75% of grades were in the 9-8 range, and 90% of grades were in the 9-7 range. This stellar performance underscores the effectiveness of the school’s educational approach, solidifying its position as one of London’s most sought-after institutions for girls’ education.

How to Prepare for the Putney High School 11 Plus (11+) Entrance Exam

 

One of the best ways of preparing for competitive entrance exams is to use practice tests. These help students familiarise themselves with the format and question types they will encounter in the actual test in an efficient and effective manner. They also provide an excellent opportunity for students to practise working under time pressure.

 

Our 11+ mock tests, which are available for immediate online use after purchase, can be used to prepare for the Putney High School assessment tests. They cover all the key skills needed for Maths and English and can be used to identify any weaker areas that require additional work, and they build confidence ahead of the examinations.

 

The resources are thoroughly researched and up to date. They are designed to be age-appropriate, but challenging, reflecting the demands of a competitive independent school’s entrance exam.
