Headline: More Than A Score: MPs Highlight Reality Of SATs

Caption: Shadow Early Years Minister, Tracy Brabin MP for Batley & Speen highlights the grim reality of SATs tests taken by 10 and 11-year-olds last week. MPs are lending their support to the More Than A Score campaign which is calling for a halt to the current regime of standardised testing in primary schools. A mobile advertising billboard is driving round Westminster drawing attention to the real-life experiences of parents and teachers during SATs season. Recently, the Prime Minister, the Minister for Education and the head of Ofsted have attempted to down-play the tests, but the reality has been markedly different for those seeing first-hand the effects on pupils.
