Television presenter Clare Balding joined students at Putney High School this week to launch a new sports programme.
The school launched its elite sportswoman programme on Tuesday, January 20, as a way to help very able athletes to balance the competing demands on their time.
The scheme will also help to monitor students’ academic progress and make sure they are on track as well as helping the girls to maximise their potential in their sport.
While visiting the school, Miss Balding gave a talk along with speaking to students about their sporting achievements.
