Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Connor Hand and I am writing from LBC Radio. I hope you're well.

I am writing in relation to a request under the Freedom of Information Act. Specifically, I would like to ask the following:

1. Since the beginning of the academic year 20/21, how many teachers or other members of school staff have been suspended, disciplined and/or dismissed after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a pupil or making unwanted advances towards a pupil? If it does not exceed the cost threshold, please provide a breakdown for the number for teachers and other support staff.
2. Of those to have been suspended, disciplined or dismissed, how many cases resulted in a charge being brought against the teacher/member of support staff?
3. How many students attend your school?

I am happy to discuss this further over the phone - my number is 07718084289 - and thank you in advance for your consideration.

Yours Faithfully,
