What was the scandal at your school?

[NoEffingWay]

There was the maths teacher who was known to be a bit of a creep, who was caught snagging a pupil in the school hall...never heard from him again.
And the headmistress was caught with her hands in the till, quick retirement and shipped out.
I went to a decent school I promise!

Many years after I left a year 10 pupil murdered a year 7 pupil tragic

My school was very boring compared to all these! (Or shall I say, just normal) No teen pregnancies or affairs that I know of. We had the usual rumours about a teacher being a pervert or a secret alcoholic or the PE teacher was a lesbian spying on us getting changed (she wasn't, it was just what we were like back then, saying silly things)
Oooh I did see one of my teachers out on a night out ( I was 15 at the time, oops) with a much younger woman who I'm certain wasn't his wife but we didn't think anything of it at the time.

Years after I left I found out that one of my teachers was jailed for ‘relations’ with a female pupil.

Head had an affair with a parent whose husband consequently committed suicide. I do not remember very much at the time, but found newspaper cuttings when clearing my parents' house.

Also teen pregnancies and teachers affairs, but they didn't seem so scandalous. I think more went on that we didn't hear about, going by things my father alluded too in later years, after he had been a school governor.

I think the main thing it taught me was not to have an affair in a small town, because people will find out.

Also teen pregnancies

We had a friendly and fun history teacher. Ten years after leaving school he was in prison for inappropriate relationships with girls in our years, we were surprised as we liked him. His best friend, the other history teacher, we got vibes of him (and maybe there were some rumors) but nothing came out about him.

I went to a very conservative and very strict all girls' school (with no male teachers), so our scandals were mild by comparison - one teenage pregnancy that I know of (in my sister's year). The one that made me sad was when a girl in the year below me came out as gay and the school basically forced her to leave (as she was "undesirable") . This was in the late 90s so sadly not even that long ago.

I went to a Catholic school. One of the teachers used to wallop pupils on the head with a big Bible. Eventually some parents found out and he had to leave.

Friend of mine found a memory stick, stuck it in a computer, and realised it was full of child abuse images. It then transpired it belonged to a member of staff. That was fairly horrific and kept remarkably quiet. Said member of staff did go to prison.

Someone in our year got suspended for ‘dealing’ cannabis. He dropped about an ounce in front of a teacher, we all thought it was a bit overkill to call it dealing tbh.

Exactly the same thing happened at my school!

A female music teacher had an affair with a male year 12 boy and they were together for a while, they used to go to the pub with my head of year who was in her 50's and they'd get drunk with the boy and his mates.

both our IT teachers were rumoured to be paedophiles but not sure if it actually was true.

Two PE teachers had affairs with 6th formers and i think one of the couples is married now with kids.

Our art teacher whacked one of the boys over the head with an art book and locked another in her cupboard as they were being disruptive (she got sacked!)

Another PE teacher (female) used to insist in watching to making sure the girls all showered properly & made us all be naked instead of in our swimming costumes- she was rumoured to be a lesbian and it was actually true i found out once i'd left!

Our English teacher used to frequently meltdown in classes over her boyfriend who was a bit of a dick by all accounts, she would be in full hysteria whilst trying to teach shakespeare.

I think we had two teen pregnancies in our year, one had an abortion and the other left to have the baby (i think she was expelled as she was a bully but i can't remember the specifics)

GREAT school.

Another maths teacher pressing himself against girls (year 7 -9).

Christ what didn't go on

Secondary school between 93-98:
Maths teacher was a creeper bastard. He used to sit us girls in rows he decided on, based on whether you were "top totty" or "rough". So the 3 prettiest, bustiest girls sat right in front of his desk where he could and did perve down their blouses. I was at the back in the "rough" league as he was "offended by our faces". You can imagine what that did for my self esteem as a third year. And yes, the boys could sit where they liked and used to bark at us at the back which he would ignore.
I was too scared to say anything so he carried on throughout most of the year. In the end, one of the pretty ones at the front told her dad, who proceeded to walk in, say "are you Mr Pervy maths teacher" and then he punched him hard enough for him to fall backwards taking his chair with him. Suffice to say he suddenly left the next day
Then in 4th year, girl in our science lesson. She was openly flirting and giggling with a boy, not unusual.
Science teacher got the right arse, they weren't exactly being loud but he went mental.
Girl gets up and says "what's the problem, sir? Am I not allowed to flirt with other people in front of you? Why's that then sir".
So we are all like "what?" clearly wondering why she's talking that way.
Science teacher gets the right arse some more, warning her to shut up.
"You would want me to shut up wouldn't you? You don't want anyone to know that we've been sleeping together for months. Or that I'm pregnant"
Queue the teacher actually stuttering, walking out the class, chased by the girl and half our class, down the stairs, across the carpark, in his car and off he went, hitting another two teachers cars as he went. Never see him again either, but we did all get spoken to as a class by the police. Girl stayed at school and did indeed have a baby. She is now a mum of 4 and very happy (she's also my best mates cousin so I get to hear how she is, he's never paid a penny towards his child or met them, in fact she found him online and he asked police to tell her to not message him, cheeky git).
After I left though an RE teacher was found to have child porn on his laptop, a boy who was a star at school was killed in a terrible accident, and another joined the army and was killed in Iraq.

Oh, I forgot the PE teacher who ignored a sick note from a girls parent. She made the child do cross country after pleurisy or pneumonia or something ‘lungy’

Well....
The student died and the PE teacher didn’t lose her job but she wasn’t allowed to actually teach PE either. It was all over the local news.

Head of 6th form shagging a 6th former. Drama teacher married an ex pupil

A few pregnancies and rumors of relationships between a geography teacher and various students, I suspect wishful thinking.

The worst was a flasher that would show up every so often to show young girls his willy, it seemed funny at the time but actually it was rather frightening to encounter him on your own (he arrived in time for stragglers). Eventually he was arrested but wasn't prosecuted due to lack of evidence

Mr F, Geography teacher and head of boys’ boarding department, who was caught exposing himself to a plainclothes policeman and busted as part of a large gay cottaging group in N.I in the 80s.
I would have felt sorry for him as being gay wasn’t really accepted in NI in those days but in truth he was a nasty shit to me so...nope.

Two female teachers kissing and fondling each other in empty rooms and corridors in the 1950's, we young girls, didn't quite understand this kind of thing then !The women were about 30 ish

I’ve just remembered the brothers who became Islamic extremists (after I left but my brother knew them) and the lad who went on to be a reality tv star.

"The public school for scandal"

Year 8 school trip to Amsterdam, let us all go around the market in groups without staff. Most kids bought 'cannabis lollipops' obviously containing real cannabis. Most of us had eaten them before the teachers found out and made the rest bin them. There was a big parent/teacher meeting when we got home

when in first year it was all round the school that the chemistry teacher was "having it off" ** with a sixthformer, pregnancy and marriage ensued

in second year, while on a trip to Northern France a couple of girls got hideously and dangerously drunk on Calvados they had bought and they then had to share a room with one of the teachers as they were also planning on "having it off"** with French boys

** correct contemporary terminology

in third year it was a local scandal that the Geography/Boys Gym Master and his (non teaching) wife were embroiled in some dodgy swinging antics with the Head of French and his wife (amongst other locals) My mother said they were always up the pub she managed touting for new recruits to the cause :v

in fourth year we all realised the German teacher was a dreadful alcoholic, he'd often be in class ahead of us all and be practically passed out over his desk...just a list of work written on the board for us to be getting on with while he slept off the hangover or groaned as he sobered up. Not sure if was not in cahoots with the French teacher and his wife. 3)

in fifth year the Head of Music had a heart attack and nearly died in the Music Huts, only about six months later somehow it leaked out he had had some sort of breakdown and would never be coming back....not sure if it was a suicide attempt

Also almost all the staff would be up the pub of a Friday lunchtime getting squiffy...again more insider info from my mother!

Ohh and one of our headteachers arrived in a blaze of glory from some swanky Private School, lots of talk about how lucky we were to have him and how super qualified he was. Again within about six months all sorts of rumours were flying about on exactly why he had been asked to leave his posh fee paying school and resort to a small town Grammar.

Two of the teachers had an affair and shacked up together; wouldn't have been so scandalous if the jilted wife wasn't also a teacher at the same school and all 3 continued to work there.

My Mum went to the same school and in her day one of the teachers had a 'secret' relationship with a sixth former. They are still together 30+ years later though.

Now sil got pregnant at 15 just 16. (Still happily married to him 20 years on).

English teacher snogged one of the 16yos in our year.

Cardigan wearing HOY smacked a particularly horribly behaved lad in my form. Lad stood up and said 'even my mum doesn't hit me that hard' and ran out of the room.

In our own leafy primary, one of the kids brought an actual bullet to the ski trip which was only just discovered before security at the airport. No gun. Just the bullet. No idea why.

In 1982 one of the boys who was 15, stabbed another boy to death outside the school gates. Another was involved in the murder of an Asian boy in the city centre on a Saturday afternoon. Bit rough my school was...
