More than a quarter of the year group have achieved the astonishing feat of 10 or more 9/8s or A*s and as many as 82% of grades have been at 9-7 or A*/A. We are all extremely proud of this spirited and talented group of students who completely embody the positive ethos of Putney with their “can-do” attitude and will undoubtedly go on to achieve in whatever they set their sights on.”
