14-year-olds spared as SATs are scrapped

Like tests? If you don’t you  and think they are a nightmare, then will like this!

All Year 9 SATs are scrapped as the Government is stopping SATs for now. The Key Stage 2 SATs will stay although they may soon change their mind about this as they might be going into a new testing system for a single-level which may replace the Key Stage 2 tests.

Every year 1,2 million pupils sit 9.5million national curriculum test papers. This will mean the cutting down on tests in the school year by about a half. The results of the Key Stage 3 tests in English, Maths and Science were published but rarely used to compare in league because the GCSE scores were used.
