8/10 - Good effort!

So Michael Gove (Education Secretary) has clarified this business of pupils retaking their GCSEs over and over again, and, for me at least, has got it spot on.  His ruling is that kids can retake as often as the school is prepared to pay for them to do so, but only their first mark will count towards the school's standing in the league tables. Judgment of Solomon, I think.  Mind you, what he should really do of course, is abolish league tables!
