Parents keep children off school in protest over controversial exams
Parents have kept their children off school for the day in protest over controversial tests for six and seven-year-olds.
The action comes after more than 40,000 people signed a petition supporting a boycott of Year 2 Sats by teachers.
The Let Our Kids Be Kids campaign has organised the day of action in protest at children being "over-tested, over-worked and in a school system that places more importance on test results and league tables than children's happiness and joy of learning".
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan had warned that missing school even for a single day would be "harmful" and called for those behind the "damaging" campaign to reconsider.
