Simon Henderson to appear before education committee after Guardian reported exam questions had been leakedThe headteacher of Eton college will appear before a House of Commons select committee next week to be questioned about exam malpractice at the school. Simon Henderson, Eton’s head since 2015, will appear before the Commons education committee on Tuesday, following a report by the Guardian earlier this year that exam questions had been leaked. It was later revealed that students at Eton and Winchester also had their marks annulled for an Pre-U art history paper after a leak of exam questions. The revelations put a spotlight on the structure of the Pre-U exams offered by Cambridge Assessments, a part of Cambridge University. The teachers involved – who have both left Eton and Winchester respectively – may have had access to the exam questions because they were also involved in setting the exams.
