However, as only a small number of suspected cases emerged (along with an even smaller number of confirmed cases), the school was open for last year pupils to take their [[General Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSE (General Certificates of Secondary Education)]] examinations. Pupils were noted on the school's website for having dealt with the situation maturely.
