Stephen Perse Cambridge Sixth Form
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, East of England · CB2 1NA
A dedicated sixth-form college within the Stephen Perse family, this small Cambridge institution focuses entirely on the final two years of school, with all 240 pupils studying at A-level or for the International Baccalaureate. Founded in 2008, it offers both day and boarding places, and its generous staffing - a pupil-to-teacher ratio of around nine to one - reflects an environment built around close academic support. A notable feature is its commitment to access: through the North Cambridge Futures partnership, disadvantaged students at North Cambridge Academy can take up fully funded places here.
