A female teacher who lied about cancer treatment and faked medical appointment letters has been banned from the classroom for at least two years.
Lisa Howes, 48, had requested time away from her role at Hedingham School and Sixth Form in Halstead, Essex, between January and April 2018.
The languages teacher, who was also Head of House, falsely claimed she had an appointment for an MRI and provided documents to back up the absence.
She later gave false information about a lumbar puncture appointment, a Teaching Regulation Agency disciplinary hearing was told.
In March, Ms Howes said she was going to start a course of radiotherapy, which she was not, and then faked a letter about this cancer treatment.
