Both then appeared to struggle, before the teacher then appeared to push the student again with some force. Stockport Council said bosses in the schools department are 'aware of the incident' at the secondary school.

The town hall is 'following all appropriate due processes'. A spokesperson for Harrytown said the school had nothing to add further to the statement issued by the local authority.

Tim Bowman, Interim Director of Children’s Services and Director of Education, Work and Skills at Stockport Council, said: "We are aware of an incident that took place at the school and we are following all appropriate due processes. We cannot comment further at this time."
