Catholic head teacher struck off

Maurice O'Brien was in charge at St Mary's Primary in Poole when he changed answers to try and improve SAT test results at the school.

The 60 year old admitted editing the papers of children he thought wouldn't do as well as they deserved.

He resigned in October after 38 years in teaching.

The National College for Teaching and Leadership says he can apply for the ban to be reviewed in 5 years.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
