The headteacher at an Oldham secondary school has resigned after a backlash over 'historic social media use'.
Rachael Hallam, of Oldham Academy North, is accused of tweeting racial and derogatory comments in a series of tweets that appeared to come from her account, which have since been circulated widely by upset pupils.
Mrs Hallam stepped down today following widespread criticism of the alleged tweets, which have since been deleted. In a comment, E-ACT academy trust, which owns Oldham Academy North, said they are 'aware' of allegations and are handling the allegations through their 'usual internal processes'.
