  • 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.

  • We have a times table champion in 3B. The first person to get 100% in the class. 144 out of 144 in under ten minutes! Quite an achievement! Well done! @SPFSchools https://t.co/Tp5TzWJQDH
  • Y6 were out on two wheels learning key skills about road safety and being bike wise in traffic - did you see them on your travels? #Bikeability https://t.co/hDwyCUa7Jv
  • Year 5 visited the Duxford Imperial War Museum (IWM). The purpose of the visit was to gain a greater insight into various forms of transport. The children used their enquiry skills to ask questions and thought critically about the purpose of different vehicles. #iwmduxford https://t.co/Y1t2zo37z8
