A primary school headteacher has been banned from the profession following a cheating scandal which saw pupils receive excessive help in their SATs exams. 

Broadford Primary School, an award-winning school said to be one of the best in the country, became embroiled in a scandal three years ago, when two SATs tests were annulled following a Government investigation.

In a spelling test teachers over pronounced words to give students hints, including saying 'arc-i-tect' for architect and 'd-e-send-dant' for descendant.
