It’s time to stop using SATs results as shorthand for high standards. Our new research highlighted in @tes https://t.co/my6ZEFbX4p

On Tuesday 14 March, the day before strike action, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan wrote an open letter to parents. We’ve written her one back. Please share widely.

[Save Our Schools UK @SaveSchoolsUK]

Please tell your MP that you support teachers’ demands for a proper pay increase funded from central government, not from existing squeezed school budgets. Email your MP here: https://t.co/nrZ2HUVYYq

A teacher who started working in 2010 and made normal progress up the pay scale has lost over £64,000 in real terms.

The action is about the very future of education and the life chances of our children.

Hi @peterkyle it would be amazing if you could make this @MoreThanScore event and show your support for an urgent review of the high-stake and high-pressure testing in primary schools

Calling Labour conference delegates! Please support this motion in the priorities ballot.

@BrightonHoveCC sent one employee to clear the obscene amount of glass & plastic beach rubbish. The other worker sent home for wrong uniform! Is this the best this "green" city can do? Offered some help but not enough bags... How much will end in our sea? Take your rubbish home!

[Vicky Trainer @vickytrainer]

Brighton beach this morning. Broken glass, drug-use debris and children playing among it. One employee working to clear it all. Blue flag, green city?!🤔 @CarolineLucas @peterkyle @brightonargus @BHGreenCllrs @BrightonHoveCC

[More Than A Score @MoreThanScore]

[Vicky Trainer @vickytrainer]

Great to see fellow Brightonian @CarolineLucas join parents like myself, heads & kids from @MoreThanScore Hope more MPs listen! 📣Stop SATs

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

SAT tests are not good for children or their education – we must put enjoyment, creativity, & inspiration back into learning, & let teachers do their job & teach

Govt needs to get its fingers out of its ears, listen to teachers, pupils & parents, & #scrapSATs

@MoreThanScore

[Vicky Trainer @vickytrainer]

These children were amazing today 🙌 talking to MPs and Lords about their #SATs experiences

[Surrey Square School @SurreySqSchool]

As SATs results were released today, two of our year 6 chn went to parliament to spk to MPs to voice their thoughts on #SATs and why the primary assessment system needs to change @MoreThanScore #makeachange #makeadifference

[Vicky Trainer @vickytrainer]

Great to talk to @AllisonFerns1 on @BBCSussex about my day in Westminster with @MoreThanScore campaigning for a better, fairer way to assess primary children #SATs

[Vicky Trainer @vickytrainer]

I'm one of the 89% of parents who want an alternative system to high pressure SATs. I'll be joining heads and children tomorrow to tell MPs why. Write to your MP https://t.co/VK2xBMU5wK to join us!

[More Than A Score @MoreThanScore]

What does the evidence tells us about SATs?

👉89% of parents would support an alternative system
👉Only 3% of heads wanted SATs to go ahead this year
👉1 in 10 children couldn’t sleep worrying about SATs

Ask your MP to meet us in Westminster on 5 July https://t.co/0NEWxiv7Fm
