Professor Robin Alexander said, 'Drawing on the Cambridge Primary Review's evidence and on the many regional and national consultations since our final report was published last October, we have set out 11 post-election policy priorities for primary education.
'We are sending our statement to Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and other party leaders, as well as to education stakeholders.'
