Angie Dale, the chair of governors at Colburn primary school, said the incident was an “upsetting development” for the school.
But she said the council was “determined to continue to take appropriate actions and change processes in school to ensure the integrity of future assessments”.
Now banned from teaching, Mr Watt and Ms Kelly have resigned from the school.
The teachers, who are now reportedly engaged, must now wait four years, until 2026, before they can apply to have their bans overturned.
