Teachers assess children every day without tests. Preparing for tests all the time stops teachers teaching.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/778474799597228032 …
what we need is independent testing that teachers can't fix so we know the true state of affairs

it's not about children's learning, the test, it's actually about testing the teachers and schools for you.

btw there is no test that cannot be manipulated or 'gamed' e.g. look at the 11+ tests they fail that 'test' all the time.

that test is one that parents and teachers prepare pupils for so not what I'm talking about at all. As you know.

but if it's any public test then teachers, parents etc. will also prepare for it. e.g. end of KS2, GCSE etc. even baseline now.
