Upgrade to the Full Preparation Package within 30 days and save £50 on the Full Preparation Package.
Updated for September 2027 entry.
Full preparation costs hundreds of pounds and months of your child's time. This package tells you whether that investment makes sense, and whether full preparation or 1-to-1 tuition makes the most sense for your child.
3 diagnostic papers sat at home under timed conditions
English comprehension and grammar paper (30 minutes) with Non-Verbal Reasoning (10 minutes)
Maths paper (20 minutes) with Verbal Reasoning (10 minutes)
English Creative Writing paper (30 minutes)
Full mark schemes for every paper
Your child's creative writing paper marked by one of our Perse alumni tutors, returned with written feedback
20-minute results consultation to walk through results and agree next steps, including an honest view on whether The Perse is a realistic target for your child
The Perse Entry Profile: exam format, marking criteria, and what assessors look for
6-week study plan built around your child's diagnostic results. If you upgrade to the Full Package (£349, minus your £75), this becomes the first six weeks of their programme.
Everything arrives immediately. You'll get access to all three diagnostic papers, the mark schemes, the Perse Profile Report and the Parent Guidance Pack the moment your payment goes through.
Here's the sequence we recommend. Your child sits the three papers at home under timed conditions within the first week, we'd suggest spreading them over two or three days rather than one sitting. You mark the English and Maths papers against our mark schemes, and send us the creative writing paper, which one of our Perse-educated tutors marks and returns with written feedback within 72 hours.
Your 20-minute parent consultation is booked within 48 hours of finishing the 3 diagnostic tests. On the call we go through the results together, give you an honest view on whether The Perse is a realistic target, and agree the 6-week study plan.
If you decide to continue with the Full Preparation Package (£349), you can upgrade with a £50 discount. The study plan becomes the first six weeks of the programme. If you decide not to, everything you've received is yours to keep.
