We have received the Sunday Times Schools Guide 2021 award for East Anglia Independent Secondary School of the Decade.
"It is easy to be wise after the event, but it takes great vision to plan for something as yet unknown. The Stephen Perse Foundation took a giant leap into the future nearly 10 years ago when the then head teacher Tricia Kelleher decided that children would learn with screens as well as books. She so believed in online learning that she also posted lessons from her school online for children everywhere to access.
The brilliance of that initiative bore spectacular fruit in March when schools closed down practically overnight and learning shifted online - or not. The children at Stephen Perse have benefited from Kelleher's decision to embrace digital learning and place the school at the cutting edge, just as they have from her constant desire to develop the school academically, through the International Baccalaureate, and a more general quest for both a rounded education, excellent pastoral care and consistently high standards."
