Test results at an award-winning primary school in east London have been annulled amid allegations of cheating. The DoE confirmed the results of key stage 2 English reading and maths papers at Broadford Primary School had been investigated. It was reported the investigation followed a "tip-off from a whistleblower" that cheating may have taken place. The DoE said the Standards and Testing Agency (STA) had investigated the school's exam results.
The school, which is in Romford and run by Havering Council was placed into special measures in 2011 and has worked its way up to be currently rated as "outstanding" by Ofsted. It was named primary school of the year and overall school of the year at the 2017 Times Educational Supplement (TES) awards.
