A number of constituents have been in touch about an issue to do with an 11 Plus sitting and I wanted to respond here in case there were any other concerned constituents who had not yet been in touch.

My office have made contact with Plymouth City Council regarding the allegations made and I will be continuing communications as I understand the assessment board are launching an enquiry to get to the bottom of the matter.

I hope the enquiry will be carried out swiftly and effectively in order to minimise the undue stress on the students and families involved in this years 11 Plus.
