The Perse School, Cambridge

The Perse School is an independent co-educational day school on Hills Road in Cambridge for children aged 3 to 18. It was founded in 1615 under the will of Stephen Perse and began on Free School Lane before moving to Hills Road, where the Upper School has occupied its current site since 1960. The school was formerly a boarding school and is now a day school. It admitted girls to the Sixth Form from 1994, began accepting girls at 11 and 13 in September 2010, and became fully co-educational by September 2012. The school is organised into the Pelican pre-prep, the Prep, the Upper School and the Sixth Form.
