A colour-coding system for measuring how schools in Wales perform is being scrapped.

The National School Categorisation System rated schools green, yellow, amber and red depending on how much help they need.

The Welsh government said it would be replaced by "a robust self-evaluation system" but the Welsh Conservatives called it "change for the sake of it."

Head teachers and parents have welcomed the move.

Introduced in 2015, the process has been judged for labelling schools and encouraging competition.
