Historical Roots:-
The school is situated overlooking Putney Common on land gifted by the Earl Spencer. The school, known then as Putney Lower Common School, was opened in 1858 in what is now the shared Ecumenical Nursery, and was for the “indigent poor of Putney”.
In July 1876 it became a boys’ school and was renamed Putney Upper School. The girls in the area attended St Mary’s School, Charlwood Road.
A tax on whisky in 1889, “whisky money”, was used nationally to finance evening classes. As a consequence of this, Putney Evening Institute commenced in the old school house in 1892.
On 12 February 1894 a new single storey building opened and was given the name All Saints’ Junior Mixed School. It cost £3,880.13s.1d, and the money was raised by public subscription and two grants from the Rochester Diocesan Education Society (£25) and the National Society (£125).
The design made provision for a subsequent addition of two further storeys. A bequest of £3,000 by Miss Stratford Robinson enabled the second storey to be completed, this section was officially opened on 7 November 1896 by the Lord Bishop of Rochester.
