Scrap Key Stage 1 SATs this year.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The English and Maths tests for 7 year olds are completely unnecessary. They place excessive stress on teachers, parents and children. The school teacher's knowledge of a child should be enough to assess how well they are doing at school.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure whether you would like Key Stage 1 SATs to be scrapped for this year only, or whether you would like them to be scrapped completely. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
