Dear Year 6 Parents/Carers,
I am writing to let you know about a delay to this year’s Key Stage 2 (KS2) test results, which affects all schools nationally.
Schools were due to receive results on 7th July 2026. However, Pearson Education Limited, the provider responsible for administering, marking, and returning Key Stage 2 results to schools has informed the Department for Education of a delay affecting the national system used to make results available to schools. Results will now be available on 16th July 2026.
We know this is frustrating, and we share that feeling. But it will not get in the way of celebrating everything your child has achieved at the end of their primary school journey. Importantly, the delay is not related to the quality of the tests or the accuracy of pupils’ results. Test papers have been marked in line with usual processes.
We normally send the KS2 reports home once we have the Year 6 SATs results but as we know there is a delay which will take us up to almost the end of term, KS2 reports will be emailed home on Thursday and the results will follow once available.
This will not impact your child’s transition to secondary school and no action is required from parents or pupils. We will share results with you as quickly as possible after we receive them on 16th July.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Chamberlain Mrs Gray
Head Teacher Deputy Head Teacher
