About us

The Stephen Perse Foundation is different. We achieve exceptional exam results without sticking blindly to the syllabus or cramming facts and figures – but what you learn in class is only half the story. What happens on the sports field, in our art and music department, on the stage or in our clubs and societies is just as important. 

We applaud success but nurture a diverse, inclusive community in each of our three schools and our 6th form college, where friendship and support are just as important as doing well (probably more so). We’re small enough to know each other but large enough to provide challenges and stimulate debate.

Whether we’re introducing the small boys and girls in our pre-prep to the world beyond their families, helping the students in our junior and senior schools to grow in confidence and courage as they grow up or encouraging the young adults in our 6th form college to broaden their intellectual, personal and social horizons, we celebrate individuality and curiosity.

But don’t take our word for it.

All schools tell you they’re wonderful but the only way to know if they’re right for you is to see for yourself. You’ll find pupils and students who bubble with enthusiasm, teachers who love what they do and a place where young people blossom – and have amazingly good fun.

They’ll be delighted to show you what being here is really like.
