We need an assessment system that promotes professional integrity

Teachers have denounced the excessive pressure government league tables place on schools to perform, claiming they drive some staff to cheat.

St Charles' Catholic primary in Liverpool and Brockswood primary in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, dropped to the bottom of today's tables after their results were scrapped.
