Amelia Stephen of the St Martin Primary School has topped the 2025 Grade 6 National Assessment Examinations.
The results were released by Education Minister Octavia Alfred during a ceremony held at the Alliance Française today.

Casnaya Casimir of the Newton Primary School placed third, Kinaya Riviere of the St John Primary School placed fourth, and fifth place went to Eliana Giraudel of the St Martin Primary School.
Eighty-six (86) scholarships and 108 bursaries were awarded.
A total of 750 candidates, 373 girls, and 377 boys, wrote the exams across 58 centers around the island this year.
According to a press release from Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training and National Excellence, the amount allocated to scholars and bursars for textbooks and stationery is $1000.00 and $700 respectively.
As in previous years, students selected to enter the Roseau, ITSS and Portsmouth Secondary Schools’ catchment areas will receive forms on which they are to indicate their ranked choice of schools they would like to attend.
The release went on to add that there will also be the option of doing this online. Once these forms have been returned to the Ministry, the Ministry will work with the Principals of all secondary schools in these catchment areas to ensure that all students are placed in a secondary school.
The Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training and National Excellence thanks all involved in the Grade 6 National Assessment – the members of the subject committees, teachers who wrote items for the examination, the centre coordinators and supervisors, the Police and all the technical and support staff in the Ministry who monitored the administration of the examinations.
