Key stage 2 tests: how to access results and test scripts
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

Information for headteachers, teachers and local authorities about accessing 2025 test results, scaled score conversion tables, marked scripts and test papers.

We will update this guidance in June 2026 for the academic year 2025 to 2026.

Accessing test results and scaled scores

We recommend schools nominate one PAG user within their organisation to view and download their test results on Tuesday 8 July. The results will be visible in 2 different ways:
- a summary page showing scaled scores for all subjects for each pupil
- 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
To access test results for pupils who used a modified version of the tests, open the document in Adobe Acrobat Reader from your downloads and select the yellow pop-up note. This should open the link to view all the scores.

If you cannot see the yellow box, please follow the steps below:
- Sign in to the PAG.
- Select ‘View and download KS2 test results’ from your ‘Available activity’.
- Select the subject you wish to view the results for.
- Select the result at the side of the pupil’s name in the results table. This will download the results for that pupil in the PDF format.
- Select the downloaded PDF and open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Select the yellow text box located on the left of the KS2 heading, on the first page of the document.
Follow the instructions in the yellow text box to view the marks given for each question.

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 9 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.

Test scripts

Most test scripts 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 access 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 8 July. They will contain the marking annotations, but the total pupil result will only be available on the PAG.

Test materials

2025 test papers and mark schemes are available in the collection of past test materials (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-curriculum-assessments-past-test-materials).

Help and support
