A Sats test which left children "in tears" will be looked at by the government after floods of angry parents and teachers complained it was "unnecessarily difficult".
The Schools Minister Nick Gibb said he does not want the exams, which are taken by 10 and 11-year-olds in England, to be “too hard” as that is “not the purpose” of the assessment.
Last week hundreds of parents and teachers took to social media, concerned about the welfare of their children and pupils.
Kerry Forrester, a head teacher from Cheshire, said "tears flowed from our most capable readers and stress levels rose amongst all others", when the youngsters "opened their reading test".
