STA assessment updates
Latest information and deadlines relating to primary school assessments.
The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) sends ‘assessment update’ emails to schools, local authorities and other subscribers fortnightly on a Tuesday during term time. This includes users of the:
- Primary Assessment Gateway
- National Curriculum Assessments Portal
- multiplication tables check (MTC) service
- reception baseline assessment (RBA) assessment services
You can read previous assessment updates online or subscribe to receive future emails.
To ensure your spam filters or firewalls don’t block our emails, you may need to ask your IT team to allowlist Mailchimp IP addresses.
Some of our email communications may look slightly different in the academic year 2025 to 2026, as we are also testing alternative mailing services by Brevo and Sender.
