Students at a Liverpool high school staged a protest over the controversial methods of a newly appointed figure once dubbed "Britain's strictest headteacher.'
Barry Smith made a name for himself as one of the strictest heads in the country and now works as a freelance consultant for schools. He has recently been hired by King's Leadership Academy in the Dingle area of Liverpool.
But in his short time at the school Mr Smith has already sparked controversy and has been accused of making "sexist" and inappropriate comments towards students. School bosses have said these claims have been investigated and found to be unsubstantiated.
