Our Facilities and Lettings

Our historic building

We are lucky to have a beautiful Edwardian school building which was built for the Putney community in 1908. The school was fully refurbished in 2010 meaning it is safe, warm and fit for purpose for modern school life. Our classrooms are airy and bright, with natural and neutral colours helping to bring a calm atmosphere to the school. We also have a purpose-built sports and dinner hall adjoining the school, along with our former caretaker’s cottage which has been repurposed as an additional educational space.

 

Sports facilities

We value PE and sport in all its forms, and have invested in high-quality spaces to support this crucial area of the curriculum. At Hotham we are lucky to have:

  • A multi-purpose sports hall

  • A 4G sports pitch

  • A smaller hall, complete with wall bars and gymnastics equipment.

  • A separate netball/tennis court

 

The Woodland and Allotment

We are very fortunate to have our very own small piece of nature in the heart of Putney - the Hotham Woodland. Also known as the Secret Garden, this area of the school is an oasis of calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the school. We also have our Discovery Garden which contains the school allotment and greenhouse - a lovely space for growing which is carefully tended through the year by our volunteers and Eco Team. We use both of these spaces to support our curriculum.

Our woodland area includes:

  • A range of mature trees, bushes, shrubs and plants;

  • The Pavilion - a full sized outdoor classroom, particularly useful when the sun isn’t shining!

  • Denbuilding equipment;

  • A fire pit;

  • A human sundial.

Specialist spaces

We have a number of specialist spaces which support school life. We have a large school building with lots of potential, meaning we are always looking to develop our next area for learning!

Currently at Hotham you will find:

  • The Studio: A large multi-purpose art and design studio, which provides a specialist space for art, DT, cooking, science and more. It is well-equipped with a range of equipment.

  • The Hub: A colourful yet relaxing space where our Learning Mentor and trained Emotional Literacy Assistants work to support children’s wellbeing, either 1:1 or in small groups.

  • The Calm Room: A quiet sensory room tucked away from the main school corridors, in which children with specific needs can receive the sensory support they need.

  • The Music Room: A fully-equipped music room, complete with piano, drum kit, and class sets of instruments.

  • The Library: A well-stocked and well-loved library with a huge range of books that are regularly replenished.

  • The School House (opening September 2025): Our former caretaker’s cottage which has been transformed in a multi-use space for wraparound care and community projects.
