A head teacher who referred to his staff as the ‘blonde one’, ‘the good-looking one’ and ‘the pretty one who lost the baby’ has been banned from the classroom.
Paul Scott, 54, made a string of inappropriate remarks to female teachers at Arboretum Primary in Derby, including telling one: ‘I can see you’ve got your big pants on today.’
A tribunal was told that when one asked Scott what she could do to reach a higher pay band, he replied: ‘Seeing you in your underwear would be a really good start.’
He referred to colleagues as being ‘on the spectrum bus’ and told another teacher: ‘You’ve really let yourself go since you got married.’
A pregnant colleague was allegedly asked if she was behaving in a certain way ‘because she was hormonal’.
