Great point Chris 👍 IMHO the objection to single word judgements felt more about the symptom not the cause Kids have to live with crucial exam judgments based on a number in a system in which a third of them WILL FAIL - why not schools (without the forced failure but) The cause of the objection was often more to do with a system that sometimes brutal, uncaring and inconsistent, used as a ideological political tool to drive forced academisation It was a system used as a stick and not as part of a school improvement and support system Having said that, the league table aspect that can drive competition between schools isn’t healthy or motivating for schools in tough settings which will always be on a back foot when they need all the encouragement they can get
