One of the most prestigious state schools in Leeds left students in the dark in a crucial GCSE exam earlier this week.
Year 11 students at Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley were dumbfounded on Monday, May 20, when a question appeared on their GCSE paper in Religious Studies asking about a topic they had not been taught.
A letter sent to parents of every affected pupil said that the previous week's exam on the same subject in the GCSE short course 'was as expected' and there were no other mystery topics.
However, headteacher Janet Sheriff confirmed the school has launched an immediate investigation and called on the exam board to apply 'special consideration' - although pupils and parents will only find out if the appeal has been successful when they open the envelope containing their results in August.

Research by LeedsLive earlier this week found Prince Henry's Grammar School to be one of the best schools in Leeds for securing a place at a Russell Group university.
The latest figures show that 20 per cent of A-Level students from the Otley school went on to a top university. Just four Leeds schools were found to send a higher proportion of 16- and 17-year-olds to one of the best 24 universities in the UK.
