PUPILS were marked down for forgetting to dot an “i” in this year’s Sats tests, headteachers claimed last night.
But others still received the marks because the examiner added the dot for the pupil in red ink, the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said.
The union urged heads to contact England’s exams regulator, Ofqual, about marking inconsistencies.
It also included concerns that wrong spellings had been marked right, while right spellings had been marked wrong.
Pupils with good writing skills had been marked down because of a “formulaic mark scheme”, the NAHT said.
