Sir William Perkins’s School was founded in 1725 and moved to its current site in Chertsey in 1819. The school sits on 13 acres of Surrey Green Belt, conveniently close to the town centre and with excellent communications by road and rail.
The main school buildings at SWPS date back to the 1810s, and the striking combination of Victorian architecture and contemporary, state-of-the-art facilities across the site offers a seamless blend of old and new, supporting the needs of a first-class 21st-century education. Our intention is to provide our students with the very best facilities, creating an environment which is inspiring and enjoyable in which to learn, live and work. In recent years, we have undertaken a number of significant projects, both to create innovative new spaces and to renovate and revitalise older parts of the school. These ongoing developments are not only exciting, but also a testament to our ambition to provide the best possible environment for our students and for others who benefit from using our site.
We are pleased to open our facilities to the local community and offer our spaces for sports, social and special events. These include;
- A large sports hall
- Three all-weather courts (MUGA)
- Astro pitch
- Football pitch
- Performing arts centre
- Drama studios
- Jarvis Music Hall
- A 340-seat auditorium
- Sixth Form Centre with conference meeting rooms
