Proceeding contribution from Julie Kirkbride (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on SATs Testing.


SATs Testing

Like the rest of the country, the Secretary of State must have seen the two published test papers in English that appeared in the national newspapers last week. Can he tell us why the public and the House should have any confidence in the marking of those test papers, when one, which was clearly well written and accurately spelled, was given a very similar mark to the other, which was poorly written and poorly spelled? For the record, can he tell us his personal opinion of those two papers and the marks that they received?
