A prestigious private school in London has faced multiple investigations into the way it awarded exam grades in 2021, when all its A-level entries received A* or A, the Guardian has learned.
Senior leaders and teachers at the North London Collegiate school (NLCS) have been placed under investigation for alleged malpractice in setting teacher-assessed grades, which replaced formal exams cancelled by the government because of the Covid pandemic.
Sources at the £22,000-a-year girls’ school said more than 20 cases involving NLCS had been passed to malpractice committees convened by A-level examination boards, which held a series of confidential hearings this month.
