The New Day has printed its final edition today, splashing on an exclusive story about calls to halt teachers “fiddling” the results of SATS exams ahead of pupils sitting them next week.

The issue is given a double-page spread on pages four and five with a headline that asks the question “are cheating teachers bringing SATS into disrepute?” and reveals pressure on staff to “massage results” in order to maintain standards, based on figures from the government.

The newspaper was until today the UK’s newest daily national title having launched its first edition on 29 February. As a result of its demise, about a dozen editorial staff  face redundancy.
