Overview
- Alex Lloyd, formerly head of sixth form at The Bishop of Winchester Academy, was barred indefinitely from teaching in England and cannot work in any school, sixth-form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home.
- The Teaching Regulation Agency panel found his admitted conduct amounted to unacceptable professional conduct and reinforced discriminatory stereotypes outside the lesson material.
- Evidence detailed comments including telling a pupil to imagine their mother being killed, asserting female genital mutilation happens exclusively in a pupil’s culture, and saying a girl would have been killed in Iran for her clothing.
- Witness accounts said pupils were distraught, and the panel reported Lloyd showed no remorse and attempted to justify his comments as factual, contrary to Fundamental British Values.
- He cannot apply to have the prohibition set aside until October 2029, and the academy said he is no longer employed there.
