Getting to know us

Find out more about our vision, our approach to learning and our history.

Our vision
Rather than just turning out young people who are highly-skilled at passing exams, we prepare young people to be independent thinkers in an ever-changing world.
Our curriculum
Our Learning Wheel places the learner at its core, is holistic and integrates the key areas of knowledge and understanding with thinking skills and learning characteristics.
Our history
Founded in 1881, originally as The Perse School for Girls, we have always been at the forefront of progress in education. This continues today, with awards such as Independent School of the Year and IB School of the Year amongst our recent accolades.

Life in Cambridge

Cambridge is one of the most culturally diverse cities for its size. With a population of 120,000 our local community maintains a stable core, as well as a changing group of people connected with the universities (the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University) and thriving local businesses.

Cambridge buzzes with intellectual and commercial life and is renowned worldwide for its history, exquisite architecture and huge cultural appeal.
