We will hear from Alan Gibbons the children's author, Kevin Courtney Deputy General Secretary of the NUT and David Pratt from the NAHT executive.

We will be talking about why the decision to ballot on the boycott SATs has been taken and looking at what forms of assessment would better benefit primary children. We are very interested to hear the views of parents of prmairy children.
