Overview
- Alex Lloyd, formerly head of sixth form and a science teacher at The Bishop of Winchester Academy, admitted the allegations in a statement of agreed facts in June 2024.
- Panel chair Sarah Buxcey ruled he cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.
- Pupils reported he said “imagine this was your mum being killed,” linked honour killings and female genital mutilation to their culture, and told a girl she would have been killed in Iran for her outfit, leaving students distraught.
- The panel concluded his remarks targeted specific pupils, reinforced discriminatory stereotypes, fell outside approved teaching materials, and showed no evidence of remorse as he sought to justify them as factual.
- The prohibition cannot be reviewed until October 2029 at the earliest, and the school said it supports the TRA decision and that Lloyd is no longer employed.
