Accessing test results and scaled scores

The 2024 key stage 2 (KS2) test results will be published at 7:30am on Tuesday 9 July. Schools should access the View and download KS2 test results form in the Available activity section of thePrimary Assessment Gateway (PAG)alongside thescaled score conversion tables on GOV.UK.

We recommend schools nominate one PAG user within their organisation to view and download their test results on Tuesday 9 July. The results will be visible in 2 different ways:

• a summary page showing scaled scores for all subjects for each student
• a detailed results page providing a deeper look for each subject, including pupils raw scores, scaled scores and test outcomes

A full list of results codes is available in the Code Table at the bottom of the View and download KS2 test results page on the PAG.

Schools will be able to download their test results in the following formats:

• common transfer file (CTF) containing all test results or all test results with teacher assessment data
• comma-separated values (CSV) file containing all test results, all test results with teacher assessment data or test results for specific subjects
• results letter containing all test results or test results for specific subjects

Local authorities and multi-academy trusts

Local authorities and multi-academy trusts will be able to view and download test results in the same formats available to schools. They can choose to download results for all their schools and academies as either a combined file or by selecting the individual school or academy from a pre-populated list.

Key stage 3 schools

Schools with a key stage 3 intake will be able to download results for their incoming year 7 pupils from Wednesday 10 July. These schools can enter their unique pupil numbers (UPNs) in the Search for pupils KS2 results form in the Available activity section of the PAG.

Reviewing test scripts

Almost all test scripts will have been scanned and marked on screen. Schools will be able to view and download copies of their pupils marked test scripts by selecting the test paper score hyperlink. You can find this after selecting the test subject within the View and download KS2 test results form in the Available activity section of the PAG.

Test paper scores without a hyperlink indicate that the test script has been marked on paper. The hard copies of these scripts will be returned to schools by Tuesday 9 July. They will contain the marking annotations, but the total pupil result will only be available on the PAG.

Test materials

2024 test papers and mark schemes are available on thepractice materials collection page.
