MPs and peers do worse than 10-year-olds in math and English Sats

Campaigners seeking abolition of year 6 Sats staged event at which children invigilated tests on parliamentarians

MPs and peers tasked with completing a year 6 Satss exam have scored lower results on average than the country's 10-year-olds.

MPs including Commons education select committee chair Robin Walker took part in the exams, invigilated by 11-year-olds, at a Westminster event organised by More Than A Score, who campaign for the tests to be scrapped.
