'˜Brilliant teacher' who made a mistake
None had been told of the headteacher’s conviction.
A mother, 43, who asked not to be named, was picking up her children.
She said: ‘It’s just irresponsible – it doesn’t set an example. They had police in the other day about speeding along the road and then the teacher does that, it’s really bad.
‘It makes a mockery of what they’re teaching.’
