Heads have been waiting for hours to receive their schools’ key stage 2 SATs results after the gateway service run by Capita on behalf of the government crashed.
Leaders’ union NAHT this morning described the problems with the primary assessment gateway as “immensely frustrating”. Many heads were still reporting at 10am that they had not been able to access results, which should have been available at 7.30am.
And to add to the problems, the government’s own statistics website has also crashed this morning, meaning headline figures due for publication at 9.30am still can’t be seen.
