Children to take school tests aged 4

Greg Hurst:

Children aged four will be expected to sit tests within weeks of starting primary school under controversial plans to be announced by the Government.

The Times has been told that "baseline" tests to measure each child's level of development are to be moved from the age of seven to the beginning of the reception year. Ministers have decided that they will go ahead after consulting on proposals over the summer and autumn.
