///Russell Hobby, general secretary of school leaders' union NAHT, said: "We are extremely disappointed that the government are determined to push ahead and implement the multiplication check.
"It is both unnecessary and un-costed and won't tell teachers or parents anything that they don't already know."///
Should be done at primary school when there is a chance of them wanting to learn them. Once they get to age 10 if they don't know them it's very difficult to get them to want to make the effort. A test wouldn't worry them.

///am an experienced teacher, new Labour Party and NUT member. I intend to submit a policy proposal to the party, explaining why I believe private and grammar schools should be phased out.///
///I recommend that the Labour Party should adopt the following policies:
Turn all private and grammar schools into non-fee paying, non-selective state schools over a period of five to 10 years. This can be done gradually starting with each school’s youngest intake.
Within its first five-year term, increase government spending per child to at least the higher North West European average.
Any government funded school judged to be ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted should have a legal duty to reserve places equivalent to the percentage of students eligible for free school meals in the local authority, including such students residing outside the school’s catchment area.///
