In the academic year 2013-14, 15,509 schools entered pupils for the statutory key stage 2 tests in English and mathematics.

Schools did not have the option to mark scripts themselves. All scripts in all subjects were externally marked via the Standards and Testing Agency’s external marking services provider.
