Exams regulator Ofqual has demanded evidence of improvements from the government’s SATs agency and contractor Capita after a series of failings during last years’ test series.
Schools Week investigations have revealed problems with the first SAT series run by outsourcing firm Capita under its £107 million, seven-year contract to oversee the management of the national tests.
Ofqual’s annual SATs report, published today, reveals the full extent of issues – including that 7,000 pupils did not get least one of their results on time.
Schools Week revealed 2,000 papers were still being missing at the start of this academic year.
