As we expand The Perse School’s legacy into Singapore, our vibrant new campus in Upper Bukit Timah merges the best of both worlds - academic excellence and innovative learning.

Cambridge

400 years of British Heritage The Perse School Cambridge

The Perse School, founded in Cambridge, has over 400 years of history and has ranked among the top five schools in the UK for students receiving Oxbridge offers (source: The Spectator 2023). It has produced exceptional scholars and influential figures who have shaped the world. Consistently setting high standards, the school has continued to evolve to provide students with an education tailored for the future.

Welcome to The Perse School (Singapore)

Mark

It is a true privilege to lead a school built on such strong values and a rich academic tradition.

I have been fortunate to work in international schools across the UK, Singapore, Brunei, Dubai, and Vietnam, and each experience has shaped my approach to education and leadership. My focus has always been on delivering an outstanding academic programme that enables every student to achieve their personal best.

I believe in building strong relationships and creating a school where everyone feels known, valued, and supported. What makes The Perse School (Singapore) so special is its strong sense of purpose, its close ties to The Perse School in Cambridge, and its vibrant, diverse community.

I look forward to working closely with students, parents, and staff to build on the school's strengths. I am particularly excited to welcome both existing and new families as we begin the 2026 – 27 academic year together.
