The hidden world of The Perse. An opportunity to discover the hidden biological world of the school grounds.

An opportunity to see some of our residents under a microscope, learn about the powerful plants we have on site, investigate the complex food chains in the hedgerows, and learn some basic ecological techniques to help us understand the local ecosystems. No previous knowledge or experience is required, but a healthy interest in the living world is a must!
