• Sir William Perkins's School is forward-looking, confident and change ready, and aims to combine academic seriousness with a more inclusive future as co-education expands.

• Will suit families seeking a Surrey senior day school and who are positive about joining during a co-educational transition.

Admissions at Sir William Perkins's School are forward looking and more fluid than the historic girls’ label suggests, with SWPS now publicly presenting itself as a co-educational 11-18 day school and boys due to join from September 2026. It should suit families who want a Surrey senior day school with strong sixth-form ambition and who are positive about joining during a significant new chapter.

Scholarships and bursaries are a meaningful part of the wider SWPS proposition, but the bigger draw is a Surrey day school with a clear sense of momentum and a live move to co-education rather than awards alone.

The overall picture is modern and transitional, with the school framing the move to co-education as the next chapter of its story rather than a small tweak. Parents should still visit because the decisive question is whether the culture, sixth form and day-school scale feel right during this change.
