Headteacher's secret affair caught out after four-hour sex session with colleague during schoolday

A married headteacher has avoided a teaching ban after he spent four hours having sex with a female colleague - while his pupils brawled outside.

Adam Price was having a secret affair with his colleague. But while the pair were 'engaging in sexual activites' for nearly four hours in his office during a working day, there had been three attacks on staff and four separate fights between pupils.

The secret affair came to light a month later, after two anonymous letters were sent to the school. After being issued with a letter of suspension, Mr Price - who had "an impressive track record in a challenging education sector" - immediately resigned in disgrace.

A report of the findings revealed that Mr Price admitted he was in his office with the woman - referred to as Person B - for much of the working day on January 27, 2020, which amounted to approximately three hours 50 minutes in total.

Mr Price was referred to the TRA on February 20, 2020, after two anonymous letters were sent to the school questioning the behaviour of the pair, the nature of their relationship
