Thank you for making a lasting difference

For more than 400 years, the generosity of our community has helped shape The Perse. We are proud to recognise the Old Perseans, parents, staff and friends whose commitment enables talented young people to flourish and ensures that our founder’s vision continues for generations to come.

Our recognition societies celebrate those who have made an exceptional commitment to the School and provide opportunities to connect with fellow supporters through exclusive events and community gatherings.

The 1615 Society

Named after the year The Perse was founded, the 1615 Society recognises members of our community who make annual gifts of £1,615 or more.

Members receive invitations to exclusive events, opportunities to hear about the impact of their support, and become part of a community committed to advancing opportunity through education.

The Dr Perse Society

The Dr Perse Society honours those who have chosen to remember The Perse in their Will.

Inspired by Dr Stephen Perse’s own legacy of generosity, the Society recognises individuals whose foresight will help create opportunities for future generations of Perseans. Members are invited to special gatherings and receive updates celebrating the lasting impact of legacy giving.

More than 400 years after its foundation, every gift continues Dr Stephen Perse’s belief that by creating opportunities for others, we create lasting change for generations to come.

Celebrating Our Supporters

Throughout the year, we bring our supporters together at a number of special events, including our annual Benefactors’ Reception, where we celebrate the generosity of our community and share the difference that philanthropy is making across The Perse.

These occasions provide an opportunity to reconnect with fellow supporters, meet pupils and staff, and hear first-hand how gifts are transforming lives.

With Thanks

Whether you’ve made a gift, volunteered your time, or chosen to leave a legacy, your generosity helps continue a tradition that began with Dr Stephen Perse more than 400 years ago.

If you’d like to learn more or discuss becoming part of our supporter community, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
