"Students are to get their exam results and see their marked paper online via a secure internet site. Exam board Edexcel will pilot the scheme with a small number of A-level students and GCSE maths candidates.

Will this work?
There is a plan the prevent cheating on Coursework. Only do it at school! Wonder how this will work? From the BBC - link
"GCSE pupils should not take coursework home as part of efforts to stamp out cheating, the exams watchdog for England has advised.
The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority warns that copying from the internet and help from parents is "a threat to the fairness" of GCSEs.
Ensuring more work is done at school rather than at home will also reduce the burden on students, it adds.
The government is expected to comment on the proposals later in the year."

Far flung friends!
With it being so hot in the UK at the moment, Benjamin does not tend to sleep late in the mornings. I was woken up at 6am, which is not great during your holidays. The bonus is that I was able to Skype Brad Cuff in Perth, Austrialia. We chatted about life and the bum had been surfing today, and he had to send me a picture!
It great re-establishing contact with him and the family. He has put me into contact with Paul Botha and Phil Smethurst. Wow, those are some characters of the past.
Thing return to normal
