After which, the respective form tutors will sit with the child to better understand their English language abilities.

The CAT4 is an assessment that is designed to help students and their teachers understand how they learn and what their academic potential might be. It is not an entrance test, rather a function to give the school an understanding of how we can best facilitate your child’s learning.

At The Perse School Singapore, we recognise that every pupil is unique and that their education needs to be shaped by individual interests and aspirations. Hence, we endeavour to create an environment that is rich in opportunities for pupils to step out of their comfort zone, challenge themselves, and dare to dream big. We pride ourselves on re-inventing the way in which we educate our pupils and pushing them to think beyond the classroom walls. Our pupils are provided with ample avenues to explore their interests and passions in the form of extra-curricular activities, pupil leadership programmes, talent shows, and more.
