Putney High School 7 Plus (7+) Exam Guide

About Putney High School Junior School

Putney High School’s Junior School admits girls at 7+ into Year 3, where its two classes grow slightly to around 24 pupils each, creating a limited number of places for external candidates. The school is part of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST).

Two things stand out for planning: the deadline is early (16 October 2026), and the assessment is largely online, one of the few in south-west London that is.

Admissions information for 2027 entry to Putney High School Junior School at 7 Plus (7+)

Putney High’s 7+ is one of the earliest in the area on both counts: registration closes at noon on Friday 16 October 2026 and the assessment itself runs on Friday 20 November, weeks before the January cluster elsewhere. Results follow in mid-December, but acceptance isn’t due until early February 2027, so a December yes from Putney can sit alongside January results from other schools before you have to decide.

The school says the assessments follow the national curriculum and ‘cover what has already been learnt at your daughter’s current school’, and it does not publish past papers.

How can I register my child for the 7 Plus (7+) assessment at Putney High School Junior School?

Register on the school’s website with the £250 fee before noon on 16 October 2026, with a photo, passport or birth certificate and your daughter’s current school report. Registration for later years is open too, but there’s no advantage in registering early; the school says so explicitly.

What is the 7 Plus (7+) assessment format at Putney High School Junior School?

The core of the assessment is online: English, maths and reasoning taken on screen. Alongside it sit a short writing task on paper and a creative group activity done as a team, so the morning mixes screen work, handwriting and collaboration.

For a Year 2 girl, the on-screen format is worth a little deliberate practice: reading a whole question before clicking, and being comfortable moving on rather than dwelling. The group activity isn’t a test to revise for; it’s where ordinary habits of sharing and listening show.

• Note the early dates: registration by 16 October, assessment on 20 November, both ahead of most rivals
• Give your daughter some on-screen question practice, since English, maths and reasoning are all taken online here
• Keep handwriting in the mix; the writing task is still on paper
• A December result with a February decision deadline is breathing room: use it rather than rushing
