North London Collegiate school has faced multiple malpractice allegations over way grades awarded
, the exam board involved in the investigations, said: “We take allegations of malpractice very seriously and investigate all those put to us. Where malpractice is found we have systems in place to ensure, as far as possible, that appropriate sanctions are taken according to the evidence. We cannot comment on individual cases.”
The revelations will reignite the controversy over the record-breaking number of top grades given by independent schools in 2021, with the proportion of A*s up nearly 150% on 2019, when formal exams were last held.the school gave A* to more than 90% of its A-level entries in 2021, the highest in the country and a 56 percentage point increase on the 34% who achieved the grade in 2019.
Teachers were warned that talk of grade inflation was “really unhelpful” and told instead that “assessing in an alternative way” was going to “advantage our students”. Staff were also told: “[There is] clear direction that our grades this year don’t need to match previous years’ grades.”
