“The five years that I spent at The Perse provided a fantastic education and access to a wealth of opportunities that would have been far beyond my reach otherwise. I would like to say how incredibly grateful I am to the supporters of the bursary scheme. Your generosity of a Perse education is a gift which I will benefit from for years to come.”

We are also grateful to the many OPs who volunteer their time and expertise to The Perse. Incredibly, over 250 people have raised their hand to volunteering on Alumnet. Volunteers contribute by giving talks to students, serving on the Development Advisory Group, and by participating in careers events, university choice sessions, and much more.
