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.
