Presumably we can't discuss matters still being investigated by the police? Pity. It sounds like a cracker that would've had Grange Hill's censors foaming at the mouth.

It was discussed in another thread on here earlier in the week.

Just read that the head teacher has been remanded in custody for a month, and the case is going to Crown Court for the next hearing. I would imagine the person involved is of previously clean character, and given that the injuries inflicted on the defendant were minor, the decision to remand the head teacher seems odd. There's more to this than meets the eye, obviously.

Just saying the same thing to a colleague regarding him being remanded. Would expected him to have been bailed until next hearing with no contact with the other parties etc.

To remand someone of previous good character and with injuries to the defendant relatively minor, something else must be behind this, very odd.

Has he been remanded due to his mental health?

I'd imagine if that was the case he'd be sectioned?

 

[Squarebear]

It sounds like he snapped, yes. A bad day at the office, for sure. Mortifying.

Edit: as there are a number of parties involved. Perhaps he's considered a danger to them as well as to himself.

Good point.

I saw somewhere else it's like cluedo. The head in the staff room with a spanner. The situations not funny but that made me laugh.

She must be a hell of a girl if the stories are true.

As I said in another thread, it has all the potential for a series a few years down the line.

It's an absolutely unbelievable story.

I thought exactly the same myself, I can only assume that the CPS/Police have deemed that he is liable to commit further crimes, I honestly can't see any other reason to remand him otherwise. Or maybe he wasn't represented legally very well, but yes, someone of obvious previous good character, being remanded , for thankfully minor injuries, is a bit of a head scratch moment.

He’s been Charged with Section 18 Wounding which is intent to commit GBH which is a serious offence, but he’s a head teacher and someone likely to be an upstanding men,bet of the community save this incident. Maybe they considered him to be a suicide risk.

We’ll have to see what happens.

Yes Indeed, but I would imagine a potential suicidal person, a prison would be the last place on earth to send them.
