A teacher who claimed he had been shot while in the special forces and had inappropriate contact with a student has been banned from all classrooms in England.
William Sharkey was head of religious studies at Lymm High School in Cheshire between October 2020 and January 2022.
Sharkey was guilty of "serious" dishonesty according to a Department for Education panel, including lying to students and staff at Byranston School, Dorset, that he had served with the SAS and been shot twice whilst deployed.
