When i was at school the equivalent of year 6 (4th year Juniors) I vaguely remembering doing some tests. Were these Sats? or something equivalent? why did they change these? What do they propose in the sats place? Apart from something that secondary schools would accept otherwise it's all a duplication of time,effort & taxpayers money i think.

If parents refused to let their kids participate there would be no tests. But not everyone can keep their kids off school on the 10th May. Do we have the right to pull kids out of tests if we send them to school? A Keep your Yr 6 kids off school on the 10th May campaign would only be feasible if parents have other forms of childcare.
