Our final production of the academic year was a dramatic retelling of Charles Dickens’ epic tale ‘Oliver Twist’, adapted by Anya Reiss and performed by a cast of keen Year 8 students.

Our Under 13 girls team headed to the home of English football, St. George’s Park in mid-June as ISFA Regional Champions following an outstanding performance at Forest School a couple of weeks previously.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Margaret Pumfrey. Margaret was a pupil of The Perse School for Girls from 1943-1950 and a staff member, as Head of PE, from 1970-1988.

Our Year 8's travelled to Bournemouth during the first week of last half term, and took part in an Outdoor Education week, organised by Land & Wave

Finishing Year 6 and transitioning into Year 7 was definitely scary and I didn’t know what I was expecting, but I realise now that everything that I had been imagining about my first weeks at Senior School were all completely fulfilled! I noticed, even in my first few days, how the school radiates warmth and welcoming arms and I am so grateful for it.

Relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions has meant the return of many activities including the relaunch of our ‘Inspire Me’ programme.

Last term saw our annual Careers and University Day with a mixture of plenary sessions by Nottingham, Newcastle and Lancaster universities on student finance and tips for choosing and making successful applications to competitive universities. 

The outgoing Student President Team were asked to reflect on their tenure.

We were privileged to welcome Mario Satchwell and Katy Roper from the Cambridge Science Centre, to present a show to our Year 5 pupils, titled “Join the Crew”.
