We are delighted you wish to register your child for a place at The Perse School.

Unfortunately the form cannot be saved and returned to at a later date, so if you close your browser before you have completed the form, the information you have entered will be lost.

For the optimum user experience we recommend that you complete this form using a laptop or desktop computer. Due to compatibility issues you will experience delays or slowness with Internet Explorer, so we strongly recommend you use another browser (e.g. Google Chrome).

You can make the text larger on the screen by pressing 'Ctrl +', and 'Ctrl –' pressed together will make the font size smaller.

If you have any technical problems you can contact us on ICThelpdesk@perse.co.uk. If you have any admissions policy or process questions contact admissions@perse.co.uk.

Confidential Information

Special Educational Needs, Disabilities, Physical and Mental Health

It is a requirement of the School that parents disclose any learning difficulty, disability, or special
educational need, as well as any behavioural, emotional and/or social difficulty. This will enable the School to consider any adjustments that it may need to make to assist your child to partake in the School’s admissions procedure (including scholarship assessments), or when they enter the school. Failure to disclose relevant information may result in the School being unable to make adjustments which can reasonably be made for the entrance testing, or if the child joins the school, and therefore lead to the withdrawal of any offer. Any relevant information should be provided at least two weeks before attending entrance testing at the school.
Does your child have a learning difficulty, disability, special educational need, behavioural, emotional and/or social difficulty? *

Yes No
If yes, please give details *

Please visit the Learning Support page on our website for information on SEND support for pupils at The Perse.

Other Exam Concessions or Access Arrangements:
Applicants may be entitled to other access arrangements or concessions if this is their usual way of working, and/or is supported by recent evidence indicating that they would be at a significant disadvantage without this concession. Please provide details:
The School shall determine the reasonable adjustments, access arrangements or exam concessions that are required for the applicant to show what they know and what they can do, in consultation with the Head of Learning Support, based on the information provided in this confidential information section and in accordance with the School’s obligations under equality legislation. Prior to the assessment day, the School will confirm in writing what, if any, access arrangements, adjustments or concessions will be made for the applicant. Once confirmed, arrangements cannot be altered and late requests will not be accepted, except in the case of recent injury.

Signature

Thank you for completing this registration form a copy of which will be emailed to you. When you click submit, please do not close the window until payment screen displays, as it may take a few moments for your form to be processed.

You will then be transferred to the payment screen to make payment of the registration fee, which is the final step required to submit your application. The registration fee reflects the costs incurred by the School in administering the admissions process before the offer of a place is made and is non-refundable irrespective of whether or not the registered child attends the entrance tests.

Please ensure that the child’s surname and year group they are applying for is quoted as a reference so that the payment can be matched to their application. Failure to do so may delay your application (e.g. Y7Smith, Y9Brown).
