Overview
- An Education Workforce Council Wales panel found Samuel Davies’ conduct was sexual in nature and amounted to unacceptable professional conduct.
- Davies was removed from the professional register indefinitely with a five-year bar on applying for reinstatement.
- Messages shown to the panel included requests for body photos and a note telling a pupil not to tell anyone because he would get into trouble.
- He was escorted from Haverfordwest High in October 2022, resigned in January 2023, and did not engage with the hearing, so the allegations were recorded as denied.
- The panel heard of earlier boundary concerns and vaping claims, some lacking CCTV corroboration, and its chair warned Davies posed a significant risk to learners; he has 28 days to appeal to the High Court.
