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 yet few girls know what it means.
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, tubes and trains.
