HUDDERSFIELD TEACHER ANDREW GREEN BANNED FOR EXPLICIT MISCONDUCT
A maths teacher who made explicit sexual comments to a female pupil has been banned from teaching.Alice Green, 59, was teaching at Shelley College in Huddersfield when he also asked the girl if she had "fantasies she wanted to share".
Mr Green had previously been given a written warning for his behaviour towards female students.
He was not at the Teaching and Leadership Professional Panel hearing and offered no defence.
The panel was told Mr Green had inappropriately touched the girl more than once.
It heard the day following his sexually explicit questioning of the pupil the teacher sent her an email saying: "Sorry about yesterday, I don't know what came over me.
I'll buy you a present tomorrow to say SORRY!!!
"And we can concentrate on the maths rather than my stories." In a written warning letter sent to Mr Green in 2003, the school said: "At no time are you to have one to one conversations with female students in school, in any area that would be considered private, e.g.
classrooms with doors closed." The latest allegations were ruled proven and the panel recommended an immediate ban from teaching.
An official from the Secretary of State's office commented: "There was no evidence to suggest that Mr Green was acting under duress, and in fact the panel found the teacher's actions to be deliberate and motivated.
"Accordingly they [the panel] recommend that the order should be without the opportunity for Mr Green to apply to have it set aside.
I agree with their recommendation.
This means that Mr Andrew Green is prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England."
