Much of this month's Education and Equalities Committee was spent discussing the NUT's strategy on primary assessment. With the recent
House of Common's Select Committee Report and the
Testing the Water report conducted on behalf of Pearson, not to mention our own
Exam Factories report and
The Mismeasurement of Learning by Reclaiming Schools, it is clear that the government cannot ignore the serious issues with primary assessment any longer.
They have opened a consultation on primary assessment and yet, far from improving the situation, the main recommendation of this consultation is the replacement of KS1 SATs with a compulsory baseline test at age 4.
You can access and respond to the consultation here.
