Rejected petition Stop the Sats tests in schools

Hello,my name is Sadie and I was 11 last week and next week i am supposed to be sitting my Sats exams along with most other 10 and 11 year olds in the U.K. but I want to start this petition for them to be banned. So far in year 6 all there has been is pressure to pass these tests and for who?

More details

I have been googling all night and I can’t find any good reasons why we should do them.They cause so much stress! Last year when my brother was in year 6 he was getting really bad migraines everyday he would be crying with a pain in his head and my mum thought he was seriously ill but the doctor said it was stress and this year I have been getting anxiety and panic attacks which again my mum thought I was ill especially when I was being sent home from school but it’s also stress. Ban Sats
