Hot on the heels of being told that the KS2 and KS3 SATs results will not be delivered on time (as had been predicted by the markers themselves weeks ago), we're now being told to expect many mistakes in the test results that will eventually reach us.
So the tests that government places so much value on - the ones that they use to assess the ability of both school and child - are so inaccurate this year that we will have to look through each one in great detail to find the mistakes that have been made. And yet still these results will help Ofsted decide if we are good, satisfactory or failing.
Mmmm, makes you think - what rating should we give ETS, the new assessment company. Failing? Or should they just be put straight into special measures.
Btw - this "markers blog" article makes interesting reading.
