Focusing on national Tests for 7-11- and 14-year olds, this book draws upon the authors research to provide an authoritive discussion on the implications of national testing in England. Parallels are drawn between testing in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to provide interesting points of comparison and contrast.
