Bromcom: How to enter marks into Key Stage DFE assessment marksheet – Frequently Asked Questions
For DfE guidance on completing the KS2 Teacher Assessments see Key stage 2 teacher assessment guidance 2026 – GOV.UK
Please see the below table for KS2 TA grade requirements
You will need to enter marks into the below columns for TA (Scroll to the end of the marksheet)
Please see above table to determine what pupils need grades in each column or the DFE guidance.
- You can enter marks by clicking in each cell and entering the marks 1 by 1
2. Alternatively if you have a number of pupils with the same mark you can right click on the column heading and “Flood fill”
3. Lastly you can export the marksheet to Excel
Click on the first button shown below to download the Excel marksheet.
Open the marksheet from your Downloads folder
Fill in the marks in Excel
Save the Excel document
Go back into Bromcom and click the second button shown above and locate your saved Excel file and Import.
Step 5 – Creating a CTF
BROMCOM: Key Stage Year 6 CTF – Frequently Asked Questions
To create a CTF in Bromcom click Students from the left hand side menu
Select the Year Group filter and tick Year 6
From the Selections button click Select All
This should then highlight all your required pupils in blue.
You should see a total pupil number in the top left to confirm the correct number.
Once you have all your students selected click the Actions button and select CTF Export
Select KS2 Return as the Export Type
Select your Local Authority
Click Export
Your CTF will now be in your downloads folder ready for you to upload to the NCA website.
PLEASE NOTE- It’s been reported that some schools are getting an error message when uploading the KS2 return CTF to the NAA website. If you get this error message, create the CTF again but this time instead of selecting the ‘Export Type’ as ‘KS2 return’ select ‘National Assessment Agency’ and try uploading that CTF. This then will bring you to a ‘Matching’ screen where you will need to match each pupil to their name and UPN and then submit. I am seeking clarification about this from the NAA and Bromcom.
