SATS have stifled children's learning for too long. The ridiculous debacle of 2016's assessment systems accentuated the many faults within an already toxic system. Enough is enough. We must never again subject children to the horrendous experience of last year's tests, we must never label children as not having met required standards when struggling to complete faulty tests, we must never again narrow their learning to cram in ridiculously age inappropriate subject content and we must never again allow teachers' professional reputations to rest upon a faulty data set.
