Default State schools teach IGCSEs in secret

A DCSF spokesperson said: "It is schools' responsibility not to offer courses leading to unapproved qualifications."
So......if a pupil sits a Baccalaureate ......the school has done something wrong?

"Unapproved qualifications" , there is a dangerous concept.
Could go hand in hand with unapproved thinking.
