Alex Dolan

Alexandra Marie Dolan (born 1974) is a journalist, weather presenter and science teacher who went undercover for the documentary Undercover Teacher, produced by Allen Jewhurst.[1] For this, she was suspended from teaching for one year by the General Teaching Council with the claim that 'breached student trust'.[2] The decision has received criticism from both teachers and commentators.[3]

Early life

Dolan was born in Cuckfield, in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex. She has an older brother (born 1973). After growing up in Cambridge she attended The Leys School and Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies, and studied Marine Biology at Newcastle University. In 2019, Dolan moved from Norwich to Cromer.[4]

Career

More recently, Dolan has been employed as a presenter on Sky's Ocean TV programme Ocean Rescue.[5] She returned to presenting the weather on BBC Look East on 5 January 2016 following maternity leave.
