Perth teacher who completed pupils’ history tests struck off

A Perth High School teacher who had completed assessments of her own students before giving them to a peer for assessment was axed.

Natasha Sturrock admitted to passing off the National 4 history tests as her students’ work.

Sturrock had to face a disciplinary hearing by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).

But she subsequently fully admitted the allegations and applied for their deletion from the teaching register.

Sturrock also admitted to having presented no evidence that students she said had passed their National 5 Higher Awards for leadership met the required standards.

She further admitted that her actions, which took place in 2017 and 2019, were both dishonest and lacking in integrity.

Sturrock cannot reapply to the Register of Teachers for two years.

Perth and Kinross Council said it had not commented on individual employees.
