Q. are private schools gaming the special needs provisions of exam boards to get their A-level students longer time to complete their exams?

Given the gap between the provision of extra time in the state sector & private sector, either students from wealthier families are more likely to have special education needs, or there is something fishy going on... I'm sure some students in private schools do need the extra time but not nearly half!!!

Something fishy, methinks!
