An Edexcel spokesperson told Tes: “We take all allegations of malpractice extremely seriously.
"We are currently investigating these allegations and, if we find that malpractice has occurred, we will take action to ensure that no students are advantaged or disadvantaged as a result.
"If anybody has information they would like to share with us in confidence, they can contact us at pqsmalpractice@pearson.com."
