Teacher 'banned indefinitely' after drunkenly headbutting 16-year-old - and told to pay him £1,295 in compensation
A former teacher who worked at a school in east Manchester has been banned from teaching indefinitely after headbutting a teenager in the face. Craig Embrey, who was employed by Connell Co-op College at the time, was under the influence of alcohol when he assaulted the 16-year-old in January 2020, according to a report by the Teaching Regulation Agency published last week.
Mr Embrey, who was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in July 2021, was suspended from his job after he was charged for the offence. He was sentenced to a community order for nine months, told to carry out unpaid work for 90 hours and required to take part in rehabilitation activity.
He also had to pay £1,295 in compensation to the victim, as well as other costs. Mr Embrey told the professional conduct panel that he successfully met the terms of his sentence, according to the report. However, the panel concluded that he should be prohibited from teaching in any school or college indefinitely.
The report described the incident as a 'serious offence', but said that the panel recognised that the 33-year-old had an 'otherwise unblemished record' as a teacher. It said: "Although it was an isolated episode in the context of Mr Embrey's life and career as a whole, this was a serious offence, which involved headbutting a person under eighteen, who was not known to him, in public.
