Early life

Dolan was born in Cuckfield, in West Sussex. She attended The Leys School and Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies, and went on to study marine biology at Newcastle University.

Undercover teacher

Working as a science teacher, she went undercover for the 2005 Channel 4 documentary Undercover Teacher to expose mismanagement as well as the extent of pupils' bad behaviour.[1] For this, she was suspended from teaching for one year by the General Teaching Council with the claim that she had 'breached student trust'.[2] The decision has received criticism from both teachers and commentators.[3]
