Our Trust’s primary schools have been informing parents that there will be a delay to our Year 6 children receiving their SATs results this summer.
The results were due on Tuesday 7 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.
The SATs results will now be available on Thursday 16 July 2026. This will result in primary school staff working through the first weeks of the holiday to review outcomes, evaluate potential re-marks, and complete administrational duties.
Mark Wilkes, Deputy CEO, said: “We have been told by the Department for Education that 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. 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 16 July. “
