Don't trust league tables, headteachers warn
Tony Parker, headteacher of St Joseph's Catholic primary school in Huddersfield, which scores highest of any mainstream school in the 'value-added' table, said mistakes in the figures meant his results were over-inflated and wrongly placed him top of the table. 'Parents can't trust this data,' he warned.
Headteachers are warning that parents should not rely on the government's primary school league tables for information about which school to send their child to following concerns that last year's marking crisis has permanently damaged the reputation of the Sats results on which they are based.
