School Description

Making your mark on the world begins on day one at Sir William Perkins’s School. We are an independent day school for girls aged 11 to 18 where great things are expected, and where generosity, curiosity and ambition thrive. We are home to approximately 600 students from independent and maintained schools, who flourish within a diverse, vibrant and happy community. We take pride in knowing our students and their talents, hopes and aspirations. We work with them to develop confidence, leadership skills and an ability to perform well with others, meaning SWPS students are accomplished and successful all-rounders.

“Proud to be a SWPS”

unlock
"> We have been so pleased with how our daughter has settled in to life at SWPS.  Coming from a small prep school (and being rather shy and a bit of a worrier) we were concerned that secondary school would be overwhelming.  We gave SWPS the heads up and the staff have been incredible - very supportive, kind and gave her the extra support she needed.  My daughter has also said all the girls are so nice too and ‘the older girls aren’t scary at all and they help you when you get lost’!  We have been so impressed with how interesting the teachers make their subjects and the co-curricular clubs are brilliant and cater for all interests. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of school and even in this first term our daughter is already very proud to be a Perkonian!
“Could not be happier with our choice of school – Happy Y7 Mother”

unlock
"> Our daughter started at SWPS just over a month ago, and we couldn’t be happier with the school. It offers academic challenge with a refreshingly down-to-earth approach, and the co-curricular offering is wide and varied. Teaching is excellent and my daughter bounces to the school coach every day, excited to take part in all that the school offers. Underpinning all this is the excellent pastoral care: the staff are incredibly supportive and kind, enabling the girls to settle in quickly and enjoy the excitement of starting a new school.
“Wonderful balance of academics and co-curricular activities”

unlock
"> I have two daughters with two very different personalities at SWPS. SWPS has such a wonderful balance of academics with co-curricular activities such as drama, music and sport and fantastic pastoral care that both girls are absolutely thriving there.  I will have no hesitation to send my third daughter there. The school is full of life, laughter and encouragement where girls can be themselves and are supported at all times in their journey through their school life.
