The Perse Girls Junior School ( ages 7-11) occupies a site close to the main secondary school.
In September 2008, the school established the co-educational Stephen Perse Sixth Form college in Shaftesbury Road. The school teaches both A-level and IB, and was voted the IB school of the Year by The Sunday Times newspaper.
In September 2010, the school established the Stephen Perse Pre-Prep School after purchasing Madingley School Pre-Prep on the retirement of the previous owners. The Stephen Perse Pre-Prep is situated in Madingley,a village outside Cambridge.
The site includes a brand new dining room, hall, library, visual arts centre and a new sick bay, with renovations in other classrooms. All classrooms contain interactive whiteboards. There is a class 3 listed gymnasium on site too, as well as ICT rooms which were available to use before school, after school and at lunchtimes.

Famous quotes containing the words site and/or facilities:
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
