Proceeding contribution from Dari Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Testing and Assessment.


Testing and Assessment

I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend's statement, and I am pleased to hear that continued consideration will be given to the effectiveness of testing and assessment. I should like to put it on record, and I should like him to acknowledge, that in Stockton we have seen seriously improved assessed standards in primary schools, driven by highly professional teaching staff and head teachers. During the conducting of this valuable study, did any teachers or head teachers make the statement that their teaching now lacks creativity as a consequence of testing and assessment?
