A teacher who reduced pupils to tears by shouting in their faces and bragged about her sex life in the classroom has been banned from teaching. Julia Wheeler, who was employed as an English teacher at Pencoed Comprehensive School, Bridgend, faced several allegations of inappropriate or derogatory behaviour towards pupils.
An Education Workforce Council (EWC) fitness to practise hearing ruled that between January and May 2021 Wheeler was inappropriate and derogatory towards pupils, including calling them "d***heads", "b*****ds", and "f*****g b******s", and shouting in their faces.
Wheeler was also found to have referred to a staff member as a "d***head", made inappropriate comments to pupils about her own relationships, and wrote the word "b*tch" next to a pupil's name on a mark sheet.
