'A quarter of schools' boycotted Sats tests (BBC)

A quarter of England's primary schools took part in this year's boycott of the national school tests known as Sats, data suggests.

Nearly three-quarters of schools administered the compulsory tests, the Department for Education said.

Education Secretary Michael Gove said there were "flaws" in the testing system and that it would be reviewed, but they would go ahead next year.
