Those marking England's Sats exams raise fears over lateness and accuracy.

Last month hundreds of thousands of children across England took their National Curriculum exams, or SATs. The results should be delivered early next month.

But a special Channel 4 News investigation has revealed that ETS, the American company organising the marking of the papers, is coming under fire from some of its own marking team.

They say exam papers weren't delivered on time and ETS might not get the results back by the end of term. They're also worried about the accuracy of the marking.

The government said they were taking the issue very seriously when questions about ETS were first raised back in May.
