Information: accessing the National Curriculum Assessments Portal
The new National Curriculum Assessments Portal (NCA Portal), which replaces the Primary Assessment Gateway (PAG) from the 2025 to 2026 test cycle onwards, will officially go live on Tuesday 23 September.
On Monday 22 September, ahead of the launch, Pearson will email instructions on how to access the NCA Portal to:
- all primary school users who were previously registered on the PAG
- local authority contacts who were previously registered on STA’s contact details survey
The email will include a secure link to activate your account and create your password.
To help protect pupil data, all accounts will use multi-factor authentication. This will require you to enter a 6-digit verification code, which will also be sent to your email address.
You can find more information and support in our new guidance on how to access the NCA Portal.
We have also made corresponding updates to our new Test Operations Service provider information.
If you need any further assistance, please contact the national curriculum assessments helpline on 0300 303 3013 or at assessments@education.gov.uk.
