Can any teachers tell me if this is allowed?

Dd finished school last year and did very well in her essay subject A levels.

Over Easter, she has met up with a friend in the year below, at the same school, taking two of the same subjects that she did. This friend says that all the students in the year have been given photocopies of Dd's A level papers as examples of what the examiners are looking for.

I was rather surprised to hear that the school could just access a student's public exam papers and distribute them, without asking the permission of the student concerned. Does anyone know if this is allowed?

My A-Level English teacher was Emily Watson’s mother. She gave me copies of Emily’s essays as examples of work. I still have them . I’d expect teachers to anonymise any work if used.

I'll always remember being made to copy the work from 2 years before. Weren't at all anonymised. Told to copy. We all had different people's work I'll always remember as I knew the girl I was copying from

My friends little sister came home with my dissertation from the uni library because the lecturers recommended she read to give context to something they were learning, they didnt know we knew each other. I don't remember giving permission but I was chuffed tbh
