Welcome to our Summer Enrichment Programme 2024

Stephen Perse Holiday Enrichment Programmes offer children the opportunity to engage in, explore and experience a wide variety of age-appropriate activities, whilst incorporating childcare support for parents during school breaks.

Our full programmes welcome Year 5 to Year 10 children from other schools across the local area and overseas, as well as existing Stephen Perse students.

For families considering Stephen Perse for the next stage of their children's academic journey, our enrichment programmes offer a great insight into our values and ethos as a school. And for those joining us for the next academic year, the Summer Enrichment Programme in particular, will provide a wonderful setting for new students to familiarise themselves with our school environment and meet some of their peers before starting with us in September.
