Welcome to Year Four

We are thrilled to welcome you and your daughter to a new school year at Putney High Junior School. Although your daughter is beginning her Year Four journey in rather exceptional times, the team has worked hard to ensure the start of term is calm, well-organised and engaging.

We want you to enjoy this wonderful, new school year as much as your daughter, so please do not hesitate to contact the Y4 team and ask questions if you are unsure of anything at all. We are here to help and support you all, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Best wishes,

Mrs Page-Roberts

Languages' Survey
