LATE REGISTRATION WINDOW

•  Parents who miss the Registration Period Deadline of 11.59pm on Friday 19th September 2025 may still have wanted their child to sit the SEAG 2025 Entrance Assessment.

• SEAG opened a “Late Registration Window” from 8.00am on Monday 22nd

September 2025 until 11.59pm on Thursday 25th September 2025. 

• This was the FINAL opportunity to make a Pupil Application for the 2025 Entrance SEAG Entrance Assessment.

• If the Pupil Application form had not been completed and submitted by 11.59pm on Thursday 25th September 2025 the pupil will not be able to sit the Entrance Assessment because he / she has not been registered.

• Providing a Late Registration Window involves additional costs to SEAG and so the Administration Fee during the Late Registration Window was £50 not £20.

Application and take time to check that the information you are providing is accurate.
