Overview

  • Lauren Oliver taught health and social care and served as a lead internal verifier at Oasis Academy Shirley Park before admitting she rewrote a pupil’s coursework in November 2022.
  • A TRA misconduct panel found her actions dishonest, lacking integrity and capable of undermining the credibility of the exam moderation process.
  • The pupil temporarily received inflated grades and faced potential disruption to their final academic record.
  • Oliver resigned in October 2023 after the student reported the misconduct to the school principal in June of that year.
  • The indefinite prohibition order bars her from teaching in any school, sixth-form college, youth accommodation or children’s home in England until it can be reviewed in July 2027.
