A former head teacher has been banned from teaching after making sexual and suggestive comments to female colleagues.
A Teaching Regulation Agency panel found Paul Scott, 54, made a series of inappropriate comments such as "they're a nice pair of guinea pigs, I'd like to give them a squeeze" and "If you're struggling I'm happy to rub your chest" and other sexualised remarks such as "seeing you in your underwear would be a really good start".
In the report about the hearing, which was seen by DerbyshireLive, the panel found that it proven that the former educator had referred "to others in a derogatory way" such as a pupil who he commented on as "a bit mad" in the presence of the pupil and their parents and also said: "I'm used to teaching white middle-class children that are like sponges" after he teaching a group of lower ability pupils.
During the hearing, Mr Scott admitted some of the allegations, denied others and said he could not recall some of them. "Mr Scott had apologised for his actions and recognised and accepted that he had fallen short of the standards expected of him. To that extent, Mr Scott had shown regret and remorse."
Mr Scott will be able to apply for the ban be lifted, but not until November 3, 2024 at the earliest.
