A former physical education teacher at Healing Academy near Grimsby, Mr. Cheyne Phillips, has been indefinitely barred from the teaching profession due to a panel’s decision. The Teaching Regulation Agency determined that Mr. Phillips participated in unsuitable and sexual relationships with former students, taking advantage of his position of responsibility. Despite denying the allegations, the panel deduced that it was likely, Mr. Phillips had circulated unsuitable messages via social media and indulged in sexual misconduct. The Harbour Learning Trust, who supervises the academy, assured that the allegations were dealt with promptly and in complete adherence to investigation protocols. Humberside Police acknowledged receiving an account about the teacher’s conduct, but they did not take any further action following their investigation.
