Overview
- A Teaching Regulation Agency panel imposed an immediate, indefinite prohibition, barring Joynes from working in schools, sixth-form colleges and relevant youth settings in England.
- Joynes is serving a six-and-a-half-year sentence after convictions at Manchester Crown Court on six counts of sexual activity with a child, including offences in a position of trust.
- Court evidence detailed grooming of a 15-year-old with a Trafford Centre trip and a £345–£350 Gucci belt before sexual activity at her Salford flat.
- While under police bail for the first case, she began a sexual relationship with a second pupil, later becoming pregnant; she gave birth in early 2024 and the baby was removed from her care within 24 hours.
- The panel referenced profound victim impact and a lack of insight or remorse and noted she may appeal the prohibition to the High Court within 28 days.
