Headteacher banned after carrying pupil to his office under his arms

A headmaster has been banned from the classroom after he picked up a disruptive pupil under his arms and carried him into his office. Jordan Risebrow, 51, was involved in a string of incidents across his teaching career which contributed to his dismissal from Henderson Green in Norwich.

These included slowly tipping a chair on which a child was sitting and smacking a colleague's hand in irritation while teaching. At Hemsby Primary School, his previous job, he intervened in a playground bust up between pupils - where one boy spat and punched another.

Risebrow then took it upon himself to pick up the boy underneath his arms and carry him into his office. A professional conduct panel ruled that Mr Risebrow used "unnecessary contact" during the incident and he was dismissed from his duties at Henderson Green.
