The U.K. school system relies heavily on standardised tests to measure student, teacher and school success. However, the rise of technology means that skills such as creativity, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking are becoming increasingly important - skills that are not measured on these tests. The challenge we face in our schools in helping teachers encourage these 21st century skills whilst still ensuring students are successful on the current assessment measures. This matters because we want to best prepare students to participate fully in future public, economic and social communities.
