The Perse House System
Soon after joining The Perse School, pupils will be allocated to one of four Houses: Barbarians, Foresters, Nomads and Corinthians. Pupils receive House points for positive behaviour and achievement, and the chance to work towards certificates and awards. Ultimately the collaboration between our pupils results in the House Cup allocation, a prestigious award to the House who have gained the most points. Keenly contested Inter-House competitions, involving all pupils, take place throughout the year. This is a wonderful way to work as a team, whilst also being proud of their own achievements.
