Doncaster head teacher banned for changing SATs answers

Julie Beech, the head of of Sunnyfields Primary School in Doncaster, admitted changing pupils' incorrect SATs answers  

 

A head teacher who changed answers on pupils' SATs test has been banned from the profession.

Julie Beech, the head of of Sunnyfields Primary School in Doncaster, was found to have amended one answer each from eight pupils in the 2014 Year 6 exams.

The school in South Yorkshire was under pressure to improve after an Ofsted report in 2013 found "too few pupils" did well at Key Stage 2.
Ms Beech, 51, can appeal against the ban in two years.
