BBC News - Teachers' scores 'added to Sats':
"Next year's Sats results for England's schools will be published alongside teachers' assessments of pupils' work.
The move could head off a threatened boycott of the national tests by teachers and heads.
Education Secretary Ed Balls said the change did not signal the end of the tests but he was 'not closing the door' on further reforms.
Heads say league tables drawn up from results of tests taken by 11-year-olds do not reflect a school's achievement.
Earlier this year, the government's expert group on testing recommended ministers look at improving teacher assessment to see if it would be possible to 'move away' from externally marked tests, in the future.
Teacher assessment in this case means when teachers say which level they believe individual pupils to be working at."
