        To all the teachers telling me that they already KNOW which kids can't read well: why do you leave so many children to fail at 11 then?

        And the parents of those who went to public schools and did experience difficulty were quietly asked to take them 'elsewhere'.

        .@JuliaHB1 This isn't the purpose of the tests he's referring to. Even the DfE is clear that these are about accountability for schools.

        Absolutely @JuliaHB1 @BBCNews there is no "joy of reading" if you can't actually read!
