Development
The Perse School Development Office was set up in 2000. Its aim is to generate support for the continuing development of the Perse by promoting its achievements and aspirations as a centre of educational excellence open to all.
Funding the development of the Perse is essential to its continuing success. The School has minimal endowment funds and seeks to avoid placing the entire burden for future progress on school fees alone. Hence the Development Office looks to raise funds through:
- Annual Fund – to develop a closer relationship between the Perse and our alumni, parents and friends, through the medium of regular giving to projects that will be realised within a year
- Major campaigns – to generate significant funding to support major developments for capital projects and bursary funding
- Legacies – to establish an expendable endowment to support the long-term funding of bursaries at the Perse
To achieve these fundraising goals the Development Office has a key role in engaging with and informing all those with links to the Perse of the School's aspirations and progress, through the organisation events and the production of publications.
