Putney High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Putney High School is an independent all-girls school in Putney. It is run by the Girls' Day School Trust, a union of 26 schools with 19,500 students and 3,500 staff.
The three school houses, Austen, Bronte and Eliot, are named after well-known female authors, all of whom felt their sex gave them a disadvantage and used pseudonyms when writing.
The school has strong links with Thames Rowing Club.
The school motto is fortiter et recte.
It is situated on Putney Hill, a short walk from East Putney Tube Station (District Line) and Putney Mainline Station (Waterloo- Hounslow/Teddington/Windsor/Weybridge). It is well served by buses.
