Student Support

Stephen Perse Schools carefully balances motivation, challenge, and support for each student as they navigate their academic journey. Through individual consultations with teachers and mentors, teenagers receive guidance not only in choosing their study paths but also in preparing for entrance exams. For those who haven’t yet decided on their next steps, the school offers alternative pathways that align with their evolving interests and strengths.

University Preparation

The school creates an environment where students gradually build their university applications. During their first Sixth Form year, they learn to identify suitable programs and craft compelling personal statements. In their second year, they receive detailed guidance on UCAS submissions while preparing for aptitude tests. What particularly distinguishes this approach is access to consultations with a former Cambridge admissions tutor, whose insights prove invaluable for those applying to Oxbridge and other competitive institutions.

Career Consultations

The Career Education program adapts to each student’s interests rather than following a fixed template. Year 12 students attend individual consultations where they explore potential career directions and receive professional advice tailored to their ambitions. The school has also established partnerships with companies like Morgan Stanley and Deloitte, which present their training programs and share information about postgraduate opportunities that might interest aspiring professionals.

Events at Stephen Perse Schools

Students regularly attend the “Inspire Me” series, where they hear from Cambridge professors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and Olympians who share insights from their fields. The topics span technology, science, politics, economics, history, culture, art, ecology, and ethics—deliberately chosen to stimulate practical thinking and spark lively debates among those attending.

Graduate Achievements

Stephen Perse Schools graduates secure places at leading universities worldwide, including Cambridge, Oxford, Anglia Ruskin, Keele, and the University of Amsterdam. Their paths vary considerably: some pursue degrees at prestigious institutions, while others embark on international internships that complement their academic pursuits in different ways.
