SATs Are Not Fit for Purpose

KS2 results are utterly worthless. The government needs to take urgent action to ensure their reliability.

Imagine if the World Anti-Doping Agency suddenly announced an end to drug tests. The Olympics would go on as usual, world records would be smashed, athletics bodies would claim that the minority was so small that it didn’t matter, but would anyone ever be able to trust the outcomes ever again?

Now imagine that someone was openly handing out performance-enhancing drugs at the entrance to the stadium. You decide to play it straight and refuse the offer. However, in the changing rooms you see some of your competitors taking performance-enhancing drugs and then they beat you in every race despite all the odds and all your training.

I feel so strongly about this issue that I am considering ramping up the volume a bit and perhaps formalising the campaign somehow. Whatever you may think of my suggestions, please speak up! If you also feel strongly and you’d like to be kept in the loop about what you can do to help, please get in touch:
