'My daughter was in tears': Parents slam 'unfair' SATs and back headteacher who wants exams SCRAPPED
Parents and teachers have spoken in support of a headteacher who criticised SATs papers for bringing her pupils to tears.
"I have supported children for many years during SATs week and the reading paper this year was really hard," said Joann Neilson, responding to the article on our Manchester Family Facebook page. In her letter, the Tarporley head said: "Today really was my 'road to Damascus moment'. My year 6 children, all capable readers who love reading, opened their reading test paper and were broken!
"Since Covid we have spent time supporting our children to catch up and to believe in themselves as learners. Today saw so much of that work destroyed by a snapshot from an inappropriate test."
