Teacher banned from the classroom after doing student’s coursework for them
Teacher learns fate after doing pupil’s coursework
- Lauren Oliver, a teacher with 12 years' experience at Oasis Academy Shirley Park, has been indefinitely banned from teaching.
- The ban follows the discovery in June 2023 that she rewrote and submitted a student's coursework to the exam board in November 2022.
- A panel found Ms Oliver guilty of unacceptable professional conduct, stating she was dishonest and lacked integrity.
- Ms Oliver admitted to her actions and resigned in October 2023, having advised the student she would submit the work on their behalf for moderation.
- Her actions, which meant the student temporarily received a better grade, were deemed a breach of trust, especially given her role as a lead internal verifier.
