KS3 tests - impact

Well, there isn't really a surprise to this announcement but it is very big news. 

Does it impact 14-19?

Well it should impact it positively as no longer will 14 year olds be taught to a test, especially a test which can have some really major impact on where studnets go next.

Maybe we'll actually see Schools now bring forward some other things to take the pressure off year 11 and provide studnets with an earlier target.  I'm thinking about Functional Skills here and maybe things like INGOTS?

Probably, it provides much more opportunity for much broader and much better teaching and learning.
