A teacher who was banned from the classroom for changing students’ exam coursework has made a bid to have his suspension lifted.
John Wiseman, 49, was found to have made "extensive and significant modifications" to pupils' work at Calderstones School in Allerton before submitting it to the exam board in 2018. A Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) hearing in 2021 was told how Mr Wiseman, a former councillor, was employed at Calderstones for 17 years up until he was dismissed after an internal investigation.
He was handed an indefinite ban from education across England after his amendments were deemed to represent “unacceptable professional conduct.” Mr Wiseman has now lodged a bid to have the suspension lifted after a two-year period.
