STUDENTS at Pershore High School will soon find out if their exam grades have changed following the marking fiasco that has rocked the country.

Around 40 papers were resubmitted to exam board OCR and AQA by the school after students received shock results in their English literature and English language exams.

They will find out tomorrow whether any of their marks have been changed.

"We're still discussing with AQA that they lost some of our psychology papers and then made predictions from other exams," said Clive Corbett, headteacher.

"We're also engaging an external examiner as an objective person to mark on our behalf and look at English coursework and exams.

"The exam boards might not be happy with that but we're doing it to reassure our teachers that they're not the problem.

"If the examiner doesn't agree then we'll have further evidence."

The examiner will look at copies of exam scripts in both English literature and language as well as coursework.

Mr Corbett said he was particularly concerned with 10 students who had achieved As in one paper and then a U in another.

"We feel that perhaps our only way forward is to put ourselves at ease in terms of how we think it should be marked," he said.

"All we can hope is that future students can benefit.

"It can't be any worse than it was initially."

He says around 40 papers for around 20 students are due to be remarked by tomorrow.

Mr Corbett said he was confident that the fiasco of this year's exam grades will not be repeated following the inquiry into the exam boards and Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.

Mike Tomlinson, a former chief inspector of schools found that there had been no political interference into the fiasco.

He also ordered that some exams be re-graded.

The chairman of the QCA, Sir William Stubbs, was removed from his role by the Department for Education and Skills.
