My son starts his sats tomorrow.
We had a meeting at the school and the staff told us that while they were not in favour of the sats, they were not prepared to disadvantage the children who had been preparing for the tests.
The high school my son is moving up to streams the pupils for English and Maths. The sats results form the basis for that streaming to enable pupils to work with others of similar ability.
Whilst I appreciate they may have concerns,the refusal of some staff to administer these tests is a selfish, thoughtless act imo.
