Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on the release of the Primary School League Tables, said:

“It’s been a year of Tory failure in primary school exams.

“Papers have been leaked online, assessments have been scrapped at the last minute, and just before the summer only half of all children met the expected standards in the SATs tests.

“Parents deserve to know exactly how schools are performing so they can make the best decision for their children. It’s hard to see how they can be confident in these tables after Tory tinkering has left chaos in the exam system.”
