Petition · past parliament
MPs to take year 6 SATS tests, then reassess grammar (and all) expectations.
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
We believe the level of grammar expected is far beyond necessary and causing unnecessary stress on both children and teachers. (Many of whom were educated under the previous conservative government who removed grammar from the curriculum!) We would like MPs to take the tests to see for themselves.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
If you would like these tests to be abolished, you might like to sign this petition:
STOP all SATs testing in KS1+2 AND Help TEACHERS make decisions about EDUCATION
