Four exam papers for GCSEs and AS Levels have gone missing sparking a police investigation just days before the students are set to sit the tests.
The papers vanished sometime between them being sent by exam board AQA by courier and arriving at one secondary school.
Hundreds of schools and sixth form colleges nationwide have now had to get replacements over fears the questions could be leaked.
Senior staff were sent emails from AQA warning them the exam papers 'integrity and security' had been compromised.

The blunder happened less than a fortnight before the first of the tests are due to take place.
The papers in question were GCSE French Reading and Writing which were due to be sat on May 14 and 17 respectively.
