Year 6 test marking and results
All the test papers will be scored by GL Assessment. Using an independent organisation to do all the scoring makes sure that the tests are marked fairly and consistently.
Your child's age will be taken into account in the final test scores.
GL Assessment will only send your child's test scores to the secondary schools for which you have applied. They will also send a copy to us and we will provide the scores to parents and carers of children who took the test.
The test scores are strictly confidential and will stay for school use only. Schools you have not applied to will only see your child's scores if you apply for a place at a later date.
Results
If your child sat the test in September, you will be notified by email of your child's test results on or before 23 October 2024, before the closing date for applications on 31 October 2024.
If your child takes the test in December, you will be notified by email of your child's test results before Christmas.
The notification will provide information about:
- How the test scores are used by the schools
- Previous years' admissions to selective places
- Ability bands at Wandsworth schools
Each school has its own admission criteria. Schools use the test scores in different ways when allocating places, and some do not use them at all.
A score that results in an offer of a place at one school will not necessarily result in an offer at another.
