UK to review their high-stakes ed testing policies after 25% of schools boycott the tests

Heads pledge not to repeat Sats boycott

Heads have pledged not to repeat their Sats boycott next year after the government announced an independent review of England's primary tests.

The National Association of Head Teachers said being part of the review was their best chance to change the system.

Many NAHT and NUT members boycotted the tests this year.

The move comes after the education secretary wrote to the NAHT saying it should be fully involved.
