Perins School (formerly named Perins Community School and Perin's Grammar School) is an academy, sports college and secondary school in New Alresford, Hampshire, England. The school was founded in 1696 by Henry Perin.[2]

Performance

[edit]

Perins has been a well performing school, achieving GCSE pass rates well above the national average. 72% of pupils obtained five or more GCSES grade C or above including maths and English in 2009, compared with the national average of 47.6%.[3] In 2000, OFSTED reported that pupils' attainment had risen from "above average" to "well above average". In the 2010 OFSTED inspection report it was given outstanding status. In 2013, it was given good status.

Houses

[edit]

The houses used to be named after space shuttles.

However, in 2016, the new headteacher (Steve Jones) added a new house and changed the names of the existing ones. The changes and addition are as follows:

  • Ignis house (fire in Latin) formerly Endeavour (red)
  • Terra house (earth in Latin) formerly Challenger (green)
  • Ventus house (wind in Latin) formerly Discovery (yellow)
  • Aqua house (water in Latin) the new house (purple)

Buildings

[edit]

Seven main buildings

[edit]
  • Pascal: (Media and English classrooms and the LRC/library)
  • Eliot: (Geography, Art, ICT and RE / Philosophy & Ethics classrooms, as well as the main staff room and other offices) - Eliot and Pascal were built in the 70s.
  • Rousseau: The original school house (Modern foreign languages and History classrooms, as well as the site management)
  • Ibsen: (Music classroom and practice rooms)
  • Newton: (Science 'laboratories '/classrooms and Prep rooms)
  • Stephenson: (Technology classrooms. This consists of the resistant materials workshop classrooms; the Computing room for the technology department and the food tech and textiles rooms).
  • The buildings' names are combined to create the acronym of the school's name, PERINS, and are consequentially in order as you move from the top to the bottom of the school.
  • Turing: A new block behind Evolution, was built to accommodate the growing maths department. Upon completing the new building, Pascal became entirely for the English department, construction began in late 2013 and was finished by the Summer Term of 2014.

Other buildings

[edit]
  • The Hub and Ibsen: (Drama studios and Music classroom)
  • Evolution: (The gym, the dance studio and the PE theory classroom)
  • School office: (The senior management staff have their offices here, as well as the main office, the finances office and the photocopying room)
  • Connected to the school office: (Pastoral, Learning support and the PE office)
  • Sports Hall: To the back of Stephenson, there is an additional building which holds what is known as the sports hall (this is where examinations and other events/activities are held, in addition to sporting activities)
