📄 Reading the Performance Report
Each subject shows three numbers — the maximum score, the national mean (the average across all students) and your child’s score — so you can see how they did against the average. The big total, the Composite Standard Score, is what places the child: each subject is converted to a standard score, weighted (ELA Writing 40%, ELA 60%, Maths 100%) and added together. The report also lists the assigned school and the registration date.
🏫 Compare that score to school cut-offs
Our SEA School Match uses real cut-off data to show which schools a Composite Standard Score reaches — handy for planning your four choices or sense-checking a placement.

Placement & schools
How NGSA places pupils — and the national schools.
🏫 How placement works
CXC scores three papers — English Language Arts Writing (weighted 40%), English Language Arts (60%) and Mathematics (100%) — combined into one Composite Standard Score. That score, with your four school choices, order of merit, gender, residence and any multiple-birth link, assigns the child to a Government, Government-Assisted or Private secondary school — or a Junior Life Centre.
🎟️ Principal’s 20%
Denominational & Board schools fill 20% of places by the principal’s own criteria. A high score doesn’t guarantee a first choice — places are limited, so a child may be assigned the nearest available school to home.
🏫 How placement works
Placement is automatic — by the pupil's NGSA score plus home area code. You don't apply; the Ministry assigns the secondary school, shown on the placement slip and the online portal.
🏅 The national schools
Top performers go to Guyana's premier schools (Georgetown): Queen's College, Bishops' High, St. Stanislaus College, St. Rose's High, St. Joseph High and President's College. Cut-offs change every year.

Register & query
Registering, reviews, and getting the paper.
Enrol & query
After NGSA placement.
📄 What to bring
Documents the Ministry lists for registration:
- The child's birth certificate — an affidavit is needed if it has no name, or the name doesn't match the results listing
- Proof of citizenship if the child is a national born outside Trinidad & Tobago
- A valid student permit (and any relevant documents) if the child is a non-national
Your school may also ask for the SEA result slip, the birth-certificate PIN, a few passport photos and a parent/guardian ID — check with the placed school.
✅ No fees
Registration is free. If you're asked to pay just to register, query it.
🗓️ When & where
At the placed school, during 6–13 July 2026 — the Ministry's registration window. Dates can shift, so confirm with your placed school.
🖨️ Printing the report?
You can download and print the SEA Student Performance Report from the portal, but it's not required to register at the assigned school — bring it only if you'd like a copy.
📝 Want a script reviewed?
- Get a Request for Review form from your District Education Office (for your child's primary school)
- Pay BDS $25 per paper (Barbados dollars — CXC's fee; ask your bank for a BDS draft) by bank draft payable to “Registrar, Caribbean Examinations Council”
- Attach a copy of the birth certificate
- Hand it in within 5 working days of results — by 10 July 2026
ℹ️ Good to know
SEA covers Mathematics, English Language Arts and the Writing paper — review can be requested per paper. CXC does the review. No late requests.
🔎 Possible outcomes
A review ends in one of three ways: no change (same school), a score change too small to move the school, or a change that reassigns the school. The outcome is final — only one review per paper.
🙋 It's OK to query
If the result looks off, you have every right to check it — querying is normal. There are two routes: a review of the marking, and a Freedom of Information request to see the actual script.
🔁 1 · Request a review
Get the Request for Review form from your District Education Office, pay BDS $25 per paper (Barbados dollars — CXC's fee; ask your bank for a BDS draft) (bank draft to “Registrar, Caribbean Examinations Council”), attach a copy of the birth certificate, and submit within 5 working days of results (by 10 July 2026).
📄 2 · See the paper (FOI)
Under the Freedom of Information Act, you can ask the Ministry of Education for a copy of your child's marked script. Send a written FOI request to the MoE's FOIA Designated Officer (Corporate Communication Division, 5 St. Vincent Street, Port of Spain) stating the child's details and exactly what you want. They must respond within 30 days. Confirm the current form/fee on 622-2181.
From the Ministry of Education SEA 2026 media release (29 June 2026) and the SEA Information Booklet. Dates and fees change — always confirm at searesults.moe.gov.tt and your District Office. Directory updated .
📝 Enrol after placement
You don't apply — the Ministry assigns the school. Enrol the child at the named secondary school for September; bring the birth certificate and the NGSA placement slip. Confirm dates with the school.
🔎 Want to query a result?
Contact the Guyana MoE Examination Division — (592) 226-1237 / 226-1094 — about checking or reviewing an NGSA result. Processes change year to year, so confirm directly.

Results day & your options
Feelings first — then a clear plan.
Handling the feelings
Whatever the result, your child reads your face first. Take a breath before you open it.
“I'm proud of how hard you worked” — before any talk of the school.
Let them feel disappointed or thrilled. Don't rush to fix it.
Not to cousins, classmates or the group chat — this is their journey.
Talk it through and decide together — but don't let indecision make you miss the registration deadline.
🫂 Struggling with the result? Free, confidential counselling is available from the Ministry’s Student Support Services Division — call 622-2181 (ext. 1033–36, 1083, 1048–49 or 1052), Mon–Fri 8am–4pm.
1 Be ready with a plan — know your options
Accept the placement
Most do. Register on time and help them settle. A “lower-choice” school can still be a great start — effort matters more than the name on the gate.
Request a transfer
Not happy with the school? Register at the placed school first, then complete a Request for Transfer form there — the principal signs it and you keep the stamped tear-off. Transfers are not guaranteed (they depend on space) and are weighed on merit, change of address, a verified medical condition, or special-needs documentation.
Consider a private school
An option if it fits your budget and values. Visit; ask about results, fees and support; check it's registered — don't decide from a flyer.
Repeat & re-sit in 2027
A child can repeat Standard 5 and re-sit the SEA — in 2027 only, and only if their date of birth falls between 1 Sept 2013 and 31 Aug 2015. Repeat at the same or another primary school (space permitting), or as a private candidate. A big call — talk to the primary school and weigh your child’s age and feelings first.
🔎 Think a result looks off? You don't have to just accept it — you can query it. See how to review a mark or request the paper →
📄 No school on the report? If the SEA Performance Report shows “To re-sit S.E.A.” instead of a school, the child re-sits in 2027. Children born after 31 Aug 2013 whose Composite Standard Score is 30% or less must re-sit; a child 13 or older scoring 30% or less is placed in a Junior Life Centre for a remedial programme. Every re-sitting child is still assigned a school.
📝 Not taking up the place? Complete the Parent Declaration Form (at the primary or secondary school) to decline the assigned space. A declaration is not a transfer request — and you can’t apply for a transfer after submitting one. Not registering is also read as declining, and the place may be given away.
Whatever you're leaning toward: research the school — visit, ask other parents, check results and support — and know which placements you can realistically accept.
