Scandal of the SATS: How exam paper littered with grammatical errors scored HIGHER than literate paper

A headmistress is demanding her pupils' SATs papers be remarked after an exam paper littered with grammatical mistakes scored higher than a literate, fluently written one.

Janis Burdin, head of Moss Side Primary School in Chorley, Lancashire released two examples - by Child A and Child B - which had both been awarded a Level 4.

But Child A received one more mark overall - despite woeful literacy.

The discrepancy follows claims that some SATs were marked by people who only recently finished their A-levels.
