How much does Performance Learning cost for schools?
Performance Learning school plans cost between £3 and £85 per pupil, in GBP excluding VAT. There are three plans, and where your school sits within each price range depends on scope: how many pupils take part and how much support you need.
Every plan starts with effective assessment. From there, the packages can add targeted coaching for at-risk learners, tailored online courses, support calls and teacher qualifications, so you get a comprehensive approach to academic support that can be scaled at low cost. All plans cover the essentials, with room to grow. The ranges on this page are a guide, and your quote confirms the exact per-pupil cost for your scope.

What do the main features mean?
- Assessment: pupils complete the Foresight assessment online, which looks at learning behaviours, wellbeing and attainment factors such as recall.
- Alert levels: flags that show which pupils need support and how urgently, so you can prioritise staff time.
- Individual profiles: each pupil’s results, strengths and areas for improvement, to tailor support and track progress.
- Perceptions: analysis of the perceptions that may be holding pupils back, so you can intervene before they affect confidence and progress.
- Learning: pupils’ access to personalised online learning and skills workbooks.
How can Performance Learning be delivered in your school?
Alongside the plan you choose, Performance Learning has offered schools three ways to work together. Your team can confirm which suits your setting.
- In school: targeted live coaching, up to three meetings with your senior leadership team to discuss assessment results and use of the learning technology, and onboarding for pupils and teachers through live assemblies.
- Online: use of the assessment and learning technology with online training. For groups of over 100, this includes virtual sessions and onboarding assemblies.
- Blended: roughly every four weeks, Performance Learning comes into school to deliver targeted coaching to your most at-risk pupils while they use the online assessment and learning platforms.
How do I choose the right plan?
Start with what you want to achieve. If you need a clear picture of a cohort, Standard gives you assessment, alert levels and individual profiles. If you want pupils learning on the platform and staff reporting in real time, look at Premium. If you want to build capacity in your own staff, Enhanced adds the teacher qualification and termly support.
Trusts planning across several schools can read about Performance Learning for multi-academy trusts, and you can see how the programme works by phase on our secondary schools and primary schools pages. Parents buying for one child should see our prices for families.

Frequently asked questions
Are school prices per pupil or per school?
Per pupil. Performance Learning's three school plans are priced per pupil, in GBP excluding VAT: Standard £3–15, Premium £5–45 and Enhanced £15–85. Every plan covers the essentials with room to grow, and the team will confirm your exact per-pupil price once they understand which pupils, year groups and support you want to include.
Why is each plan shown as a price range?
Because the right price depends on what your school needs. Plans scale from assessment and evaluation for individual pupils up to an entire cohort, and the wider packages can include targeted coaching for at-risk pupils, tailored online courses and support calls. They are designed to scale at low cost and become more economical the longer the contract runs.
Which plan includes teacher training?
Enhanced. It includes everything in Premium plus the teacher qualification (Units 1 and 2) for up to three teachers, a termly support call and staff training support. Performance Learning also offers a Level 3 Ofqual-regulated diploma for teachers and CPD-accredited diplomas for DSLs, SENCos, Heads of Year and Behaviour Leads, which you can discuss when scoping your plan.
Can we start with one year group?
Yes. The Standard plan covers assessment and evaluation for anything from individual pupils up to an entire cohort, so you can start small and grow. Performance Learning has also invited schools to try the platform with two year groups: pupils take the assessment, you discuss the results with the team and you receive a one-page action plan.
Does the cost change over time?
Performance Learning's school model is designed to become more economical the longer the contract runs. Because pricing is per pupil and based on scope, your costs also reflect the number of pupils and the level of support you choose. Ask the team about contract length and what it means for your per-pupil price when you book a call.
How is school pricing different from parent pricing?
School plans are bought by the school and priced per pupil for groups and cohorts. Parents buying for one child use separate prices: the Foresight assessment costs £50, with an optional £45 live results review call, and Foresight plus SOAR online learning costs £10 per month. Parent prices are listed on the main pricing page.
How do we get a quote?
Book a discovery call with the Performance Learning team. They will talk through your school's specific needs, the pupils and year groups you want to include and the support you are looking for, then help you choose the plan that works best for your school and your pupils, with a quote based on that scope.
