Kings Farm Primary School in Gravesend to feature on Exams: Cheating the System? investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches

A primary school is to feature in a TV investigation about cheating the exam system by allowing pupils to rewrite answers after tests had finished.

The allegations will be revealed in tonight's Dispatches investigation on Channel 4.

Reporter Seyi Rhodes investigates how exam rules are being breached from primary schools right up to universities, suggesting cheating is rife throughout British education.

At Kings Farm, there is evidence to suggest the youngest children were given lower marks to show higher academic improvement later.

According to the Daily Mail, Kent County Council has confirmed 'inappropiate behaviour' took place at the school, leading to a new leadership team being brought in.

The damning claims come soon after it emerged a teacher at a school in Canterbury was disciplined for giving GCSE pupils advice during a test.

Last year, parents staged a protest demanding the then head teacher Jane Porter left, in a row over a number of new changes.

She left her post in September.

Exams: Cheating the System? is on Channel 4 at 8pm.
