Emergency Registration Window Open 16th and 17th October 2025

SEAG is aware that a very small number of parents, who wish their children to have the opportunity to sit the 2025 SEAG Entrance Assessment, have told us that, due to exceptional circumstances, they missed the Registration Period and the Late Registration Window, which closed on 25th September 2025.


Following representations made by the parents and others advocating for the children involved, SEAG has been working with GL Assessment and others to see if there is any way at all in which it might still be possible for these children to be registered to sit the 2025 SEAG Entrance Assessment.

It is incredibly difficult. We know from 2023 and 2024 that the deadlines are needed to ensure the Entrance Assessment is functional and that it is operationally feasible to provide Access Arrangements in time for the Entrance Assessment.


The SEAG Board has agreed, on this occasion, to open an Emergency Registration Window for pupils who will be transferring to post-primary education in September 2026, and who have not already been registered to sit the 2025 SEAG Entrance Assessment. Parents should be aware that, given the timeframe, it may not be possible to process some Access Arrangements requests.


The SEAG Emergency Registration Window

will run from 08:00am Thursday 16th October 2025 until 11:59pm Friday 17th October 2025. The Registration Portal will then close.

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


Having provided a “Late Registration Window” and an “Emergency Registration Window” in addition to a 4-month Registration Period, SEAG is not in a position to provide any further extensions.

Please note that this Emergency Registration Window is for the year 2025 only and does not provide any precedent for future years.


The “Guidance for Parents” Section on the SEAG website (www.seagni.co.uk) includes Frequently Asked Questions with details about how to Register a pupil to sit the Entrance Assessment. Parents can also email admin@seagni.co.uk for assistance.



Parents / Guardians create a SEAG Account and then make a Pupil Application to register their child. PLEASE take care to follow the guidance at the various steps in the

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


  • Please take care to follow the very clear guidance about acceptable photographic identification. The photograph is needed for the Pupil Card.
  • Please take care if you applying for Free School Meals payment exemption. You must show evidence from EA, of APPROVAL by them , not your application to EA and the approval must be current and give the name of the child.
