First Choice for a Successful Future
Putteridge High School 'is a good school'
OFSTED February 2013
Headteacher: Mrs H Beauchamp
What OFSTED say about us:
"Students make good progress and their progress is improving because teaching is good."
"Students behave well. They enjoy their learning, feel safe and say that bullying is rare and dealt with really well. They treat each other exceptionally well, whatever their background or disabilities."
"Students with physical and visual impairment make excellent progress against their individual targets because the school's teaching and care for these students are outstanding."
"The most able students make good progress."
"The headteacher provides excellent direction for the school to improve. Leaders at all levels are agreed on what the school's weaknesses are and what needs to be done about them.
The school acts quickly to deal with weaknesses."

Proud to be Joining the Barnfield Federation
In October 2012 the Secretary of State for Education approved our application to become an Academy with sponsorship from the Barnfield Federation. We have started the process of conversion to become a Barnfield Academy and, as part of this process, the School's name will be changing to Barnfield East Academy. We have now received our Academy Order, so we are progressing to the pre-opening phase with the aim of converting in April 2013. If you would like to know more about this, please read the consultation document, which can be found in the 'Latest News' section above.
We are a diverse and an inclusive school. We welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures and students with visual and physical impairment take part in mainstream lessons alongside their able bodied peers. We value and celebrate this diversity and believe that it enriches us, as a school community.
At Putteridge High School every individual matters and every individual succeeds. In 2012, 82% of students achieved 5 or more A*-C grades at GCSE and one quarter of students gained 3 or more A/A*. The school’s curriculum is designed to ensure that all students can attain academically; we also place importance on the development of the whole child by providing many opportunities to take part in enrichment activities.
Putteridge High School is situated on the Eastern edge of Luton bordering the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. We welcome students and their families from across Luton and from across the border in Hertfordshire.
We extend a warm invitation to visit our school
