A primary school teacher has been banned after it was found he had inappropriately grabbed the wrists of two pupils.
Christopher Green was employed as a full-time teacher in Enhanced Mainstream Provision at Seascape Primary School in Peterlee when he inappropriately grabbed the wrists of two pupils on two separate occasions in 2018. Following the 33-year-old's actions, a professional conduct panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency gathered between February 28 and March 2 this year and prohibited him from teaching indefinitely.
The panel found that Mr Green had inappropriately held the wrist or forearm of a pupil on November 6, 2018 before inappropriately grabbing and/or holding the wrist of another pupil on November 12, 2018. Due to his conduct, it was found that he had failed to act within the statutory frameworks setting out a teacher’s professional duties and responsibilities.
