At Perseid, we pride ourselves on the achievements of our pupils, the expertise of our staff, our outstanding facilities and our reputation as a centre of excellence.
Our mission to inspire learners is realised by teachers, teaching assistants and support staff across our primary and secondary school campuses; both of which are equipped with specialist equipment and facilities appropriate to the age range.
To ensure that the needs of every child and young person are met, classes are small and systems and teamwork are strong and robust throughout the school. Pupils flourish in our dedicated facilities and alongside strong professional teams, this enables us achieve our mission and trail blaze holistic learning.
From bright, spacious classrooms, fully equipped indoor and outdoor play areas, to our inviting hydrotherapy pools and purpose built dance studio, learners are provided with the opportunity to explore their talents and shine in areas that they most enjoy.
