Stop school league tables for five year olds

This petition was published by Frances on Jan 05, 2011

The U.K. government is proposing to begin publishing school league performance tables for England's five year olds on a school by school basis.

We, the undersigned believe that such an unprecedented development puts both young children and their teachers, parents and carers under unwarranted pressure that is distinctly unhelpful - especially for children at such a tender age.

We believe such tables to be divisive and unnecessary, and that they generate all manner of unintended and unforeseeable consequences that do far more harm than good.
