No more SATS

Sats will be stopped next year for older children and hopefully year after for the year 2's. This is a brilliant decision. I hope that children can now have a bit more freedom at school and not feel like they are being tested at every opporunity. Homework has also been on the agenda in most schools as a bone of contention for some parents. Some believe children have too much and others not enough. I think as I have said before that the whole structure of a school day should be altered anyway and there should be shorter more frequent holidays. Homework should be fun and set in a totally different way. Hands on visits to galleries and museums with parents should be more frequent as well.
