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


SATs Testing

Like the hon. Lady, I have no confidence in the marking of those two particular scripts. I am sure that the head teacher of Moss Side primary will be making an appeal. There are appeals every year when the marking goes wrong. The question that we have to judge is not whether there has been a problem in an individual case—that is for the appeals process—but whether there has been a systemic problem of marking quality. As of today, no evidence has been provided to me of a systemic problem of marking quality, but we will keep the issue under review.
