To mention this to the teacher?

My DD recently completed some exams, she's 10 so not GCSE's or anything but they were taken relatively seriously and were all done as part of an exam week at school. Just before they broke up for half term another girl came and told my DD what mark she had in her English exam, before the results had been released to anyone.

This other girl is in the same class as my DD for English and her mum is extremely close friends with the teacher, I see them leaving together and looking after each other's children after school etc. I think they went to school together.

The girl told my DD that the teacher's son had told her (the girl's) big brother what score my DD had and her big brother had told her. My DD and this girl are quite competitive with each other so I don't know if it was my DD's score only that was discussed or if there were others as well.

I'm not sure whether the teacher is aware that this happened or not but I think that any exam results should be delivered to the pupil in question and not via some whispering campaign!

Should I mention it to the teacher? She's really lovely and a great teacher and I don't know if this will open a huge can of worms. I don't know if her son found the papers and looked without asking or if she was discussing the results at home but either way not sure if IABU to feel a bit miffed that this girl knew DD's results before she did?

My DD got her score today and it is the one the girl gave her, I was waiting to see if it was the actual score or if it was a wind up!

Would appreciate any advice!

Good idea. Then if it was her son who snooped and told, she will have the chance to sort him out and put a rocket behind him.

Teachers' children are definitely not perfect

I'd talk to the teacher. I wouldn't want to get her in trouble.

Hope you managed to have a word and it went well.

Issues should always be brought to the teacher's attention first. If the response is not satisfactory then go to the Head.
