Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School

Lauren Williams-Burgeen was accused of being “motivated by dishonesty”

A former maths teacher at a Liverpool boys’ school was “careless” in how she reported information rather than acting maliciously, a hearing has found.

After considering the evidence, a panel has determined that in making the errors, the former teacher had been careless but had not deliberately sought to mislead. As a result, no sanction is required against her.READ MORE: Man stabbed to death named and pictured It was said when the former educator applied to work at the boys’ school in March 2020, she had failed to provide correct information relating to the ending of her employment at Unity Academy in Leeds and Wetherby Young Offenders Institute in 2015. The panel accepted Mrs Williams-Burgeen had provided incorrect information and should have known the importance of doing this, but felt she had “not knowingly failed” to give correct details to her employer.

Responding, Mrs Williams-Burgeen - who now runs a wedding photography business with her husband - said she was aware the allegations could appear as dishonest and administrative errors were made but “not with ill intent, to mislead or hide anything.” She said she had provided information to Cardinal Heenan “to the best of my knowledge” and had been asked to apply for the role at the school.
