Pupils at two Didcot schools were clearly planning a mega-party to celebrate the end of their GCSEs.

Full marks to the schools - Didcot Girls and St Birinus - for tipping off the police about the secret hoard of alcohol the youngsters had assembled for the booze-up.

Police were quickly on the scene to round up the under-age partygoers and confiscate their haul.

Several questions need to be asked. How did they get their hands on such a large amount of alcohol? Who sold it to them? And how many parents had suspicions about what was being planned?
