UK news: Headteacher's secret affair caught out after four-hour sex session with colleague during schoolday
A married headteacher has avoided a teaching ban after he spent four hours having sex with a female colleague - while his pupils brawled outside.
The secret affair came to light a month later, after two anonymous letters were sent to the school. After being issued with a letter of suspension, Mr Price - who had "an impressive track record in a challenging education sector" - immediately resigned in disgrace.He dodged a teaching ban as "no doubt had been cast upon his abilities as an educator", however watchdogs refused his appeal to remain anonymous.
Mr Price was referred to the TRA on February 20, 2020, after two anonymous letters were sent to the school questioning the behaviour of the pair, the nature of their relationship and what they had been doing during the day in Mr Price’s office when pupils and other staff were on site. A review of CCTV footage for January 27, 2020, revealed that Mr Price and Person B had been engaging in sexual activities in his office that day.
The panel were told on the day in question there had been three assaults on staff and four separate fights between pupils. That day three members of school staff were off and Person B had requested additional cover - even cancelling one employee's scheduled offsite training. Mr Price admitted he had failed to place the safety and welfare of children above all considerations and failed to refrain from actions that would bring the school into disrepute.
