Head’s Welcome

ED ELLIOTT

Head

“We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time”

The words of TS Eliot which are carved in stone on the table that commemorates 100 years of scouting and Outdoor Pursuits at The Perse.

For an activity to stand the test of time and the feedback of thousands of pupils and parents it has to be good.

The Perse has a well justified reputation for excellence in Outdoor Pursuits, and offers a range, scale and quality of outdoor activity that few other schools attain.

Learning and personal development are not confined to the classroom. Outdoor Pursuits at The Perse present excellent opportunities for students to challenge themselves, gain new skills and knowledge, develop resilience, teamwork, leadership, organisation and problem-solving abilities and have fun.

From an early stage students are given responsibilities in the Outdoor Pursuits programme and in meeting these responsibilities they become more responsible.

Generations of Perseans have benefited from outdoor learning and developed a lifelong love of the outdoors. I encourage you to find out more by talking to Mr Parker and his staff.
