Medway Test results
If you gave a valid email address when you registered, you'll be sent a results email after 10am on results day, Wednesday 14 October 2026. You will not be sent a letter.
We cannot guarantee the time you'll receive your email, as this will depend on your email provider. We have no control over emails once they are sent. Check your junk or spam folders if you have not received your results in your inbox.
If you did not give an email address, your results will be sent by post on results day.
We cannot give out test scores over the phone.
If you have not received your child's result by Thursday 15 October 2026, email medwaytest@medway.gov.uk.
Details the results will include
The results will give you:
- your child’s total score
- a breakdown of the scores for each paper
- a decision on if your child is assessed as suitable for a grammar or non-grammar school
- details of what you need to do next.
If your child has been assessed as suitable for grammar school, it does not guarantee them a grammar school place. Like other schools, grammar schools can get more applications than they have places for. If this happens, the schools must use their oversubscription criteria to decide who can be offered places. You can read the schools' oversubscription criteria for more information.
What we cannot provide
We're unable to provide the following information:
- raw scores
- percentages
- scores for each test paper or individual sections of test papers
- pass mark or percentage required for each test
- the highest score achieved for each paper
- the overall lowest/highest score achieved
- the standardisation calculation
- exam papers.

Section 43(2) exempts information whose disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of any legal person (an individual, a company, the public authority itself or any other legal entity).

What to do after you get your results
You must apply for school places by 31 October 2026. You'll need to apply through the local authority you reside within as of 31 October 2026, even if you want to put schools in other areas on your application.
If your child was assessed as non-grammar and you're unhappy with the result of the test, you can still apply for grammar schools. We recommend that if you want to do this, you name a mixture of grammar and non-grammar schools on your application form as we will not be able to offer a grammar school on national offer day (1 March 2027).
If you live in Medway, we'll offer you a non-grammar school on offer day. You'll be given the right of appeal for any schools you put on your application form, including grammar schools. You can then lodge appeal requests directly with your preferred schools after you receive your school application outcome on 1 March 2027.
As part of your appeal, you can provide the panel with your case on why you believe your child should be admitted to the school even if they were not assessed as suitable for grammar school through the Medway Test.
