The IPPR says too many schools are "teaching to the test" in an effort to boost their standing in league tables. Such short tests in the key subjects lead to "unreliable results".
Instead, pupils would take a small number of national tests, but not in every area of every subject. Those results would be used to measure the school's performance but not individual attainment, and help moderate the teachers' own assessments.
