How and when to access results

Key Stage (KS) 2 SATs test results will be published on the National Curriculum Assessments (NCA) Portal on Thursday 16 July 2026. This was due to be Tuesday 7 July, but results have been delayed due to technical issues. You can find out more about this in this article from Schools Week. 

Each pupil will receive:

  • A raw score (the number of marks awarded)
  • A scaled score
  • Confirmation of whether or not they met the expected standard

Conversion tables will be published on GOV.UK on Thursday 16 July, so you can understand how pupils’ scaled scores are calculated from their raw scores.

This is explained in section 9.2 of the Standards and Testing Agency's guidance: 2026 Key Stage 2: assessment and reporting arrangements (ARA).
