Putney High School GDST
School summary
Part of the Girls' Day School Trust and established in 1893, Putney High School educates around 740 girls from age four through to the sixth form. The Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its highest grade of "excellent" for both education quality and personal development, with all compliance standards met. The school takes a notably considered approach to technology: younger pupils are steered away from smartphones, and all phones are stored in Yondr pouches throughout the school day. Under Head Ms Jo Sharrock, it offers a non-denominational education to a large cohort across the Wandsworth area.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Mobile phone policy
Year 7 pupils should not bring smartphones into school and should not do so until Year 9 at the earliest. If parents wish them to have a phone for safety and logistics, they should purchase a basic, non-smartphone model without internet capabilities. Once in school, all phones must be switched off and stored in a Yondr pouch from arrival until the end of lessons at 3.50pm.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A long-established GDST girls' school with excellent inspection outcomes and impressive top-grade results. Fees reach £29,007 a year, though GDST bursaries help widen access.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
