TWO Swindon schools are among thousands to take part in a boycott of national tests for 10 and 11-year-olds.

The Standard Assessment Tests in English and maths were due to be taken by Year Six pupils from yesterday.

Goddard Park Primary School and Grange Junior School are the only schools out of a possible 53 primary schools that will not be holding the tests.

Estimates reveal at least 15 per cent of schools nationwide are taking part in the boycott.
