US EditionTeacher rewrote student's coursework to boost grade but pupil told school
CROYDON, ENGLAND, AUG 8 – Lauren Oliver admitted to dishonest conduct after rewriting student coursework to improve grades, leading to an indefinite teaching ban endorsed by the Secretary of State.
- On Thursday , the Teaching Regulation Agency panel struck off Oasis Academy Shirley Park teacher Lauren Oliver after she admitted rewriting a pupil’s coursework for a higher grade.
- In November 2022, Oliver deliberately rewrote two key coursework assignments and signed false documentation, revealed after Pupil A reported it in June 2023.
- The Teaching Regulation Agency panel concluded her actions were dishonest, lacked integrity, and risked Pupil A’s final grade, as she initiated misconduct that only came to light after a report to the Principal.
- The Secretary of State imposed a prohibition order preventing her from teaching in any school, college or children's home in England, and she may apply to lift the ban in July 2027.
- Despite noting her 12-year unblemished record, the Teaching Regulation Agency panel described her behaviour as a significant breach of professional standards that risked the examination system's integrity.
