ATL Comment On School Report Card Plans
8 December 2008
Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said:
“We are delighted the Government has responded to our longstanding call to rethink accountability in English schools. There has been too much reporting to Whitehall at the expense of the needs of local communities.
“The Report Card is an interesting attempt to improve the presentation of school information. The Government must use its consultation to have an open discussion about the opportunities and pitfalls of a report card, including looking at experiences in the USA and Canada. And we want a lot more thought to be given to how and whether it is realistic to try to measure pupils’ well-being.”
