Way hay, as a parent in Barnet, that's great news isn't it - crack open the champagne !!!!!
Hold on a sec, there's this story in the Times detailing how the SAT results have actually got worse :-

There's even a quote from our FiFi making excuses for it.
Well if you are a parent in Barnet, one thing is clear. Take everything the Council tells you with a pinch of salt. Whether you believe me or not, the evidence is there for you to see.
Shameful really.
