I have been in teaching since 1984 and remember a time with no SATs where teaching was spontaneous and fun.
Although in our school we aim to give the children a broad and balanced curriculum with lots of enriching experiences, we are judged against school that restrict the children's experiences just to be able to achieve as many 'working at greater depth' as possible. I'm fed up with it. My two children have both gone into secondary teaching and I see they really struggle to have any real balance in their lives.
