Whole year of pupils fail as teacher fakes results

A 48-year-old “stressed” science teacher tried to fiddle her GCSE pupils' results and resultantly, a whole year of schoolchildren failed their exam. 

Lisa Lock submitted her pupils' results to an exam board and wrongly said they had all passed while teaching at the Abertillery Comprehensive School in Gwent, South Wales.

But she was caught as over 100 of her pupils had not even finished the coursework for the exams.

Lock told a disciplinary hearing that she took the testing shortcuts as she was stressed out and had “too much on her plate”.

She was found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct and handed a “conditional registration order”, but was allowed to continue teaching.
