I really think the SATS especially in year 9 should be scrapped, the schools heap on the pressure when they do nothing what so ever for the pupils. It has a negative effect in two ways - firstly it puts the children under unnecessary stress and secondly the way schools go about it they make it seem really important, which they then repeat for 2 years for GCSEs however once the pupils realise the SATs were worthless they get the doubt of "Well are GCSEs actually that important or are they having us on again ?"
