Response anticipated in exam error.

Students commended by Head teacher

The Manx school, at the centre of a error over an English Literature syllabus, says they hope to have a response from the exam board involved by the end of the week.

Children, sitting down to take a component of their Drama paper, discovered they had been studying the wrong text.

The Head teacher of Castle Rushen, Keith Winstanley,  has written to all students involved, commending them for coping with a challenging situation, which, he says, was entirely beyond their control.

He goes on to say he feels immensely proud of the students. In coping, they used skills they had acquired over time to respond to a completely unforeseen problem.

He points out that 75% of the literature course is not affected by the problems.

The school has admitted the error was down to them.
