I signed this petition as I see the impact of high stakes testing on schools, colleagues and above all on pupils. Schools are forced to narrow the curriculum in order to ensure that pupils receive enough English and Maths teaching to enable them to 'prove' that they are capable readers and writers. I see teachers drowning under the pressures of daily changes to expectations and I see children pressured by expectations of parents, losing a love of learning in the years that they should be fostering it.
