NAPLAN and home schooling
Children registered for home schooling in NSW are invited to take part in NAPLAN. Find out if your child is eligible.
Taking part if your child is home schooled
If your child is home schooled in NSW they can take part in NAPLAN. Parents or carers of home schooled children need to opt in to participate in NAPLAN. Enrolments for 2026 have now closed.
NAPLAN will take place from Wednesday 11 March to Monday 23 March 2026.
Children registered for home schooling are required to sit the online NAPLAN tests at a local school. NESA will help arrange for your child to sit the tests at an agreed local school.
