5 July 2022: technical issue with key stage 2 attainment statistics

This morning, DfE released national headline statistics on key stage 2 attainment. There were technical issues with our Explore Education Statistics platform that meant the statistics were not available at 9:30am. These issues were unrelated to those experienced by schools accessing their individual results.

Once this issue was identified, and as an interim solution, the statistics were made available through an accessible PDF document that went live on GOV.UK at approximately 10:45am. The issues with the Explore Education Statistics platform have now been rectified, with statistics available through that platform at approximately 11:10am.

I would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused and to assure you that I take the issue very seriously. We are reviewing the website and any improvements that can be made to avoid this happening again in future.

Neil McIvor, DfE Chief Statistician
