Independent school students gain extra time for exams - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-38923034 - I think the sub-heading ought to have been the next line:

"The proportion was significantly higher than those who received the special measure in state schools where the figure is fewer than one in eight."

Because yeah, I have no doubt some of those children have education issues requiring the extra 15 minutes (or whatever it is nowadays) but the extra proportion is odd. I don't know if it's because independent schools are more likely to ask than state schools or because they're more likely to think to ask.
