A married schoolhead was captured on CCTV having a four-hour sex marathon in his office on the same day three staff were assaulted. Adam Price, the 40-year-old executive headteacher at Northern House School Academy Trust in Wolverhampton, admitted to taking off his clothes before engaging in sexual activity with a female – known only as Person B.
On this day in January 2020, several fights were recorded at the school and teachers were assaulted.
The secret romp was exposed a month later after anonymous letters were sent to the school.
The letter called into question Mr Price’s behaviour as well as that of the other member of staff.
Following the bombshell documents, Mr Price was suspended and immediately resigned.
However, despite resigning in disgrace, the former head has been given the all clear to keep his job as a senior education consultant and has even avoided a classroom teaching ban.
Duncan Tilley, the man who chaired the Teaching Regulation Agency hearing in Coventry, said that one of the letters queried what Mr Price and Person B had been getting up to in his office during the school day.
Mr Tilley said: “A review of CCTV footage for January 27, 2020 revealed that Mr Price and Person B had been engaging in sexual activities.
“Mr Price admitted that he and Person B were together in his office for much of the working day — approximately 3hrs 50mins.
He added: “The panel heard that on the same day there had been three assaults on staff and four fights between pupils.”
An attempt to keep Mr Price’s identity a secret was rejected as the disgraced head admitted he had breached the school’s relationship-at-work policy.
Mr Tilley went on: “The panel noted Mr Price’s insight into his misconduct. He expressed remorse that appeared to the panel to be genuine.
“The devastating impact that his conduct had had on him and his family led the panel to conclude that the risk of repetition was low.”
