Head’s affair with pupil, 18

A MARRIED headteacher had an affair with a female pupil he kissed in his classroom, a tribunal has heard.

John Tomsett, 54, is accused of gross misconduct after the woman said he seduced her aged 18.

The Teaching Agency heard he had a sexual relationship with the woman, now in her 40s, while teaching her at Eastbourne Sixth Form College in 1990.

Tomsett, now head of Huntington School in York, admits the affair but denies it was misconduct.
