Local Democracy Reporting ServiceMahzia "Pepe" Hart was head of Trinity Church of England primary school in Radstock, Somerset, from 2005 to 2015.
In 2008, Mrs Hart received the Pride of Britain teacher of the year award and during her tenure the school achieved the Princess Diana anti-bullying award. She added that she was told to conceal her bump, not tell people she was pregnant and ignore her morning sickness. The TRA panel hearing the case said: "The conduct of Mrs Hart amounted to misconduct of a serious nature which fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession."
The TRA misconduct panel noted Mrs Hart's commitment to teaching, and therefore gave her the opportunity to apply for the prohibition order to be overturned after two years.
Good job she was out on her ear before covid struck, you can imagine the danger she would have been to both staff, pupils and their families.
Bullying teachers is very common. I’ve had to deal with plenty over the years and EduGeek shows it’s rife. edutwitter
