Your support makes all the difference.A primary school's national test results have been annulled after an investigation found evidence of cheating.
Up to 60 11-year-olds at Merstham community primary school, in Redhill, Surrey have had their results in English, maths and science tests disallowed after a complaint from a parent, Surrey County Council said yesterday.
The exam regulator, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, has completed an investigation at the school, which has 286 pupils aged three to 11.
Officials interviewed pupils and staff last week and examined the children's test papers, which were sat in May.
Investigations are believed to focus on how much time the children were allowed to complete the tests and whether they were told any of the answers.
