‘Prat’ slur teacher in trouble again

A TEACHER who was allowed back into the classroom after being accused of writing “prat” on a 12-year-old boy’s forehead has been suspended again.

David Warburton, who has taught history for 24 years at Failsworth comprehensive school, had also been accused of making a student rollerskate around a classrom until she fell over during a lesson.

He was allowed back to school after facing two disciplinary hearings, but was suspended again just before Christmas following further allegations, details of which have not been released.

Officials from Oldham are investigating the new complaints.
