A Scunthorpe teacher was found to have given students unfair help and awarded marks which were 'far outside the reasonable range'
A North Lincolnshire teacher has been banned from the classroom after unfairly boosting pupils’ grades.A hearing by the Teaching Regulation Agency last month heard that he had unfairly given students help and given marks which were 'far outside the reasonable range'.When 28 papers were remarked by other teachers, all but one came back lower.
The experienced teacher shared completed coursework with other pupils. While students are allowed to view previous examples, they shouldn’t have unrestricted access. The panel didn’t found his claims that the breaches were due to “simple errors or misunderstandings” to be credible.“He was an experienced teacher and would have known about the restrictions on providing information such as model answers, templates and modifying post- submission work and inflating grades,” the report concluded.
A colleague at the Academy submitted a character reference, describing him as ‘respected’ with a ‘genuine passion’ for the subject.
