Aware of Head Teacher and Teacher affair

680 replies

Name changed for this. I’ve become aware that the HT of my DC’s primary school is having an affair with one of the teachers. Both are married.

Would you do anything with this information? It feels utterly morally bankrupt that the HT is abusing his position like this, and I feel so sorry for the partners involved.

It takes no time at all. There is no thinking done at all in saying were you there?

It doesn't take any advice to ask if someone was there and it doesn't assess any concern.

They were there - yes. No concern.
They were not there - no. No concern.

Nothing of concern. No assessment done as there isn't anything to assess.

Again why would someone want teachers assessing on normal everyday things like going to a hotel. There is nothing to assess.

They are free to go or not to go. The school cannot dictate that they do or do not.

The school cannot issue any sanctions on teachers doing normal things.

Once again, to assess means to evaluate the importance or worth of something. If a governor has listened to or read the concern and decided to take further action or not take further action, then that is an assessment of the concern.

And once again, you do not know the details of the concern. Please post them once you do.

But they aren't evaluating the worth.

The further action is asking them if they were there. The answer is yes or no.

Not really further action is it? Nothing else can come from that. No further action can be taken.

If there was something to report then there would be no evaluation needed as it would be reported as fact.
If they were just seen there then there would be no evaluation needed as it was a normal event.

The fact that reporting they have been seen isn't worthy of any evaluation and shows there isn't anything to report.

No evaluation needed.

It is a normal event going to a hotel.

What is not normal about going to a hotel?

Do you feel abnormal when you go on holiday? What is abnormal about doing that?

The school will not know the details and they have no right to know either.

I didn’t say going to a hotel was abnormal, I said the behaviour witnessed at the hotel might be abnormal.

You do not know the behaviour witnessed at the hotel. You do not know what the reported concern will consist of. Please post again once you do.

In listening to or reading a report of concern, and decided whether to discard or not discard, they are automatically evaluating its worth.

So they are being reported for normal things.

Abnormal? Bondage? Theft? Dogging?

If that is reported then again it doesn't need assessing as to its worth it already has worth. So if there is a two people were seen report report then that again doesn't need assessing as that has no worth.

OP didn't say they were seen in gimp masks. If she reported that then there is no assessment needed.

So yet again no assessment needed.

It either has worth or not. So assessing worth is not needed.

You are getting pissy saying they were too busy knobbing to answer emails.

They are teaching so they cannot answer emails. I imagine you are the parent who emails at 9am when the teachers are already teaching demanding something by midday and then send another arsey email as to why they haven't replied. Then sending more throughout the day - as they are working they do not see it. Then by the end of the school day you are that pissy that you get shirty at the school gate.

As I said, you want them to work unpaid out of hours. They cannot reply when they are teaching, basic common sense could be applied here! Once they stop working they are not being paid.

God no, I stopped trying to get any response from teachers very early on. A blank stare off them at parents evening seemed to be about the limit of some of the interpersonal skills. Too busy bonking maybe!

Luckily our dc all exceeded academically, more despite the quality of teaching than because of it.

But they wouldn't need to as it either has worth or not.

Mr X and Mrs Y seen knobbing in a car park. Worth. No assessment needed.
Mr X and Mrs Y seen at a hotel. Not worth. No assessment needed.

You do not know the details of a potential report. You therefore cannot evaluate whether it’s normal or abnormal, concerning or not concerning. Please post again once you know the details of the behaviour witnessed.

Once again, in reading or listening to any report of concern, it is automatically evaluated. This is assessing the concern.

So every teacher you've ever seen has done this and was too busy bonking to give you a parents evening.

What a crock of shite! You clearly have a chip on your shoulder about schools and teachers.

Maybe you were stood in the corner too many times as a kid and not got over the trauma!

So your kids leart nothing but exceeded. Ha ha ha! What a pathetic statement.

No, they were seen at a hotel at a motorway service station together, which confirmed more historic suspicions which people had raised.

That proves nothing

Nope the worth exists or doesn't.

A report of X and Y at a hotel has no worth and the parent will be shown the door.

A report of dogging at a hotel would have worth but no more assessing is needed as worth is already applied.

Gloriia · 09/07/2025 19:41

'Just because two people were at a hotel doesn't mean they were up to no good.Just because two people will not say what they were doing doesn't mean they were up to no good.'

Yes yes so it'll be all very quickly cleared up then won't it! Or not if HT has indeed breached every code of conduct going.

Maybe one of their spouses may reveal all to the governing body/pta, that'd be convincing surely if they had messages to back it all up that they weren't just admiring the soft furnishings at the local Travellodge.

Incorrect. It takes a human reading to process the information. This alone is assessing the concern.

One of the spouses will reveal that they have been at a hotel and they know all about it and it isn't a concern as they are mates and sad that people cannot see that boys and girls can be friends and that they'd hope the children learn better than the parents.

yeah that would be great.

Most I've encountered have been a bit blank at parents evening, the only time I saw any excitable was over parking or uniform and yes our kids excelled but many teachers were hapless I'm sure they'd have excelled on their own following the Curriculum on a PC.

Stood in the corner? I was a prefect you won't be surprised to hear Grin.

Maybe you didn't listen or they were treating you as you treated them. The common denominator here is you.

Why do teachers need to be excitable? Well when parents put lives at risk because they are lazy arseholes and cannot walk 2 minutes down the road then yes that is a safeguarding issue. Shame you have no concern over kids being killed or injured because the wind might blow your perm.

A prefect who cannot control herself around boys! Ha ha! Toilet monitor were you? 😉

Nor do I work in a school as a teacher. So I'd have to meet both of those criteria wouldn't I?

I do not have a manager or a boss. I own a business so no senior to knob thank you.

'Why do teachers need to be excitable? '

Sorry that was the wrong word. Animated, interested, engaged. The only time I witnessed it was when it was to do with uniform outrage or parking froth. Ask about attainment, development, areas of concern amn it was all yeah but no but.

Uni tutors much more switched on. Don't know what it is about primary and secondary teaching staff. Unless they are all indeed too busy bonking.
