Blocks
The school consists of 6 main blocks Pascal (Maths and English), Eliot (Geography, Art, ICT and RE), Rousseau (Modern foreign languages and History), Ibsen (Music and Drama), Newton (Science) and Stephenson (DT and Food Technology/Textiles). 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. The library and resource centre is also in Eliot.
To the back of Stephenson, there is an additional building which holds what is known as the 'Sports Hall', where examinations and other events/activities are held, in addition to sporting activities.
Ibsen was extended in 2002 to incorporate a new building which formed the venue for all Drama activities and select performances, with two studios, known as The Hub. There is also a building near to the field which holds a community gym known as 'Evolution', dance studio, changing rooms and classrooms used for PE theory lessons.

Famous quotes containing the word blocks:
“The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
and overrules the oncoming roar
of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.””
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
