Assessment Data Submissions

Multiplication Tables Check

Step-by-step guidance for school staff to complete the data submission for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

Deadline: Wednesday 24 June 2026
 

Step 1 - Download Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) results.

From Monday 22 June you should be able to download an CTF file of results from the MTC Service via your DfE login. This will provide a total score for each pupil.
 

Step 2 - Upload the file to the Local Authority (LA) using 'File Request' on Perspective.

Check your emails for the 'File Request' email titled 'MTC 2026 Results Service File Collection' and follow the instructions. This will have been sent to the Headteacher or Lead/Y4 Perspective user at the school.

Upload the original CTF that you receive from the MTC Service, not a file generated by your MIS.

Visit our webpage on using Perspective for further information.  

Deadline to upload: 24 June 2026
 

Step 3 - Check the file has been accepted in 'File Request'.

After the File Request says that the file has successfully uploaded, wait 2 working days and then log back in to Perspective to check it has been 'Accepted' by NCC.

If the file is not successfully uploaded, respond to any error messages and correct any results where messages or errors are displayed. Then resubmit the file as per Step 2.
 

Step 4 - What happens next.

  1. The Local Authority will receive the file(s) and will import them into their data systems.
  2. If there is any fault with the file, your school will be contacted by the Data Team. You will need to correct the issue/error(s) and submit a new file.
  3. You will not be able to resubmit through File Request after the original file has been 'Accepted'. Contact the Data Team to resubmit.
