I have no quibble with our outcome - but the process and the principles that underpin it all are so very wrong. Data showing pupils' achievement against national averages is all that matters (even where children have special needs and cannot hope to reach that standard)and takes precedence over absolutely everything else: breadth of curriculum, pupils' happiness, inspirational teaching, values, vision, good management etc. - all the things that education is really about. Any of these other items can be exceptionally good or totally brilliant, but they do not count at all against the data, however well children might have done in relation to their individual capabilities. I will vote for any government that scraps this crazy system. How soul-destroying for teachers who are working their tripe out.
