A Wallsend teacher who left a pupil 'bruised' and 'crying' when he tried to ask a question has been banned from the classroom.
Lee Alan Dixon, formerly of Churchill Community College, has been found guilty of 'unacceptable professional conduct' by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), after he was accused of 'nipping and/or grabbing' the skin on a child's arm.
The incident was reported to police and Dixon, 43, was found guilty of assault, receiving a 12-month conditional discharge. He was suspended from work at the school in 2018 and has since been sacked.
