About our community partnerships programme
By
supporting our partnership programme, you are extending a Perse education to
children beyond the School's gates.
The Perse collaborates with state-maintained schools to deepen their learning opportunities.
The Perse has developed relationships with several state-maintained schools, both locally and further afield. This enables us to share our expertise, support and experience where it can make the greatest impact.
We work with the staff from our partner schools to identify how we can help. Many pupils in these schools don't have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument or learn about coding. The Perse Community Partnership Programme changes that. Perse staff and pupils work with our partner schools to provide enrichment opportunities in a range of subjects, including music, computing, maths and more. Your support makes this possible.

how your support makes a difference.
“[Your] work means that we are able to broaden our curriculum offer to young people while they are in hospital, feeling confident about the quality and relevance of our offer to their schooling. In supporting us to upskill our staff, you are making a very direct contribution to the lives of students who are at a real risk of being completely disenfranchised from education" - Pilgrim Pathways School
Our partnerships programme has grown, connecting Perse pupils with a network of 28 primary schools for regular staff led mentor sessions with Year 5 and 6.
Upper Sixth computer science pupils pay regular visits to Harston & Newton School to help their Year 5 and 6 pupils learn more about programming with Python.
