He would be put on "List 99" as he had a relationship with someone in full time eduction. It's not actually called that anymore, it's now an education act or something.
I'm a secondary school teacher, aged 26 years old and find his behaviour outrageous. There is nothing attractive about a pupil ten years younger than me. He had let down the professional IMO.
When teachers are training, we are given a red book called the "Bristol Guide"- it clearly states that you should never overstep the professional teacher/pupil relationship. It couldn't be any clearer...
Saying that though, 3years ago in my current school it was well know that a female teacher was having a sexual relationship with a 15 year old male pupil...Nothing was done by my school.
The female teacher worked in my department and I had to face her every day. It made me sick that she carrie on this relationship and was still allowed to teach. I constantly made complaints to our Safeguarding Officer and even anonymously phones the police....
Turns out his parents didn't care about the relationship and therefore didn't want to press charges....
My school did not follow up with any kind of internal investigation. We we told never to mention it again and to carry on as normal...
She left, and now works at another local school.
It seems as though schools are more than happy to try and keep these incidents under wraps...
