GCSE results in Basingstoke
THE agony and the ecstasy! It was that time of year again when hundreds of teenagers like Danielle Beeks and Paige Pryor, pictured, found out their GCSE results.
Across north Hampshire there were many success stories as students pulled their results sheets from the envelopes.
But there were disappointments too, as the row about harsh marking broke out.
See this Thursday's Gazette for five pages of coverage on how our schools measured up and how so many students put in the hours and beat the odds.

Any truth in the rumour that Brighton Hill managed to "lose" all the Geography papers completed by their students? How 'unsatisfactory' if true! Perhaps that Gazette will investigate? Or perhaps they won't!
Finally, it is unethical of you to be using these comments to spread unsubstantiated rumours and gossip.

I'm going on what a couple of parents have told me and if it's true then it needs publicising don't you think?
Anyway, I'm off to sit on the naughty step.

The council was at fault they did not check the final proof sent to them the same council that did "nothing wrong guv" until the courts found them guilty of illegal acts.

In the printed article in Gazette on the matter, the council make it clear that the proof they sent to the printers was correct and the mistake was the result of a printing error at the printers.

No responsible newspaper can base an article on hearsay. Gossip is fine between consenting adults outside the school gates but it has no place in these posts.
What you have repeated is libel unless proven true - can you prove it is true?
