The head said she watched as pupils opened their test papers and 'were broken'
The headteacher of a primary school has criticised SATs tests after watching pupils break down in tears.
She also shared a copy of her letter for other professionals and families to see online and within a couple of hours it had been shared more than 40,000 times. "Tears flowed from our most capable readers and stress levels rose amongst all others. For what, I found myself asking, for no other reason than to sit a test for the government DFE accountability measure.
She added that pupils put themselves under 'immense pressure to perform well in these tests', which has a negative impact on their self-esteem, confidence and mental health. "Totally agree with this," said one. "It was completely unfair. Accessible to read but the questions were ridiculous and no clear answer. There was far too much for the hour time limit and totally unfair for pupils with ASD or slow processing. I will be writing to our MP too."
