Parents and teachers have spoken in support of a headteacher who criticised SATs papers for bringing her pupils to tears.
Within hours of children sitting a reading paper on Wednesday, Kerry Forrester, head of Tarporley C of E Primary School in Tarporley, Cheshire, wrote a letter to her MP calling for the assessments to be scrapped.
After sharing a copy of her letter for other professionals and families to see online, thousands of people have reacted, most of them agreeing the tests for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils should be abolished.
