  • School life

    The outside world can seem scary to a small person. We make sure it’s a warm, welcoming, happy (and decidedly noisy) place, where every challenge leads to a real achievement.

  • Learning

    Facts and figures may get you through exams but more fundamental qualities will help you rise to the challenges of school and life beyond. We focus on helping our children to make these qualities part of their lives.

  • News

    All the latest news from across the Stephen Perse Foundation.

Enriched learning

Exploring drama, the arts, music and sport is integral to learning here. From ballet to gardening, textiles to tennis – our enrichment activities encourage our pupils to collaborate, build confidence and discover new skills and interests.
