Schoolchildren in the county are set to miss their Sats tests as a boycott kicks off in schools across the country.
Oxfordshire County Hall has not yet confirmed how many schools in the county are boycotting the tests following a vote to do so by the National Union of Teachers and the National Association of Headteachers.
Around 600,000 10 and 11-year-olds are due to take their exams this week - starting with reading tests today, followed by writing and spelling papers and then maths exams on Wednesday and Thursday.
The results are usually used to create league tables - but these will be thrown into disarray by the boycott
Ofsted inspections are also likely to be affected as Sats results are a key measure used by the inspectorate when forming judgments on schools.
