Assistant head teacher is struck off

Feb 9 2007

 

AN assistant head teacher who swore at pupils and then bullied one into lying to a disciplinary panel in a desperate attempt to save his job has been struck off.

Peter Glover, formerly employed at Dormston School, in Dudley, was also the director of the Mill Theatre, on the same site, and was found guilty of swearing and intimidating pupils.

England's General Teaching Council, sitting in Birmingham, heard his case yesterday and found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.

Mr Glover, who was not present at the hearing or legally represented, was struck off the teaching register for at least two years.

In September 2004, an amateur dramatics group which included pupils from the school, was rehearsing for a play but Mr Glover failed to provide stage equipment, forcing the group to cancel.

Mr Glover became angry at the group's decision to cancel and began "acting like a madman", throwing stage blocks and swearing in front of pupils.

He was suspended from his post after head teacher Stephanie Sherwood received two letters of complaint from parents.

Mr Glover then pressured a pupil into signing a statement saying he had not behaved inappropriately or used foul language.

After a disciplinary investigation he was dismissed in June 2005.
