A SOUTHEND teacher who bragged about taking ecstasy on a social networking site has been fired.
Matthew Ross was also found to have been under the influence of the Class A drug whilst teaching at Thorpe Greenways Junior School on 29 November 2010 by the General Teaching Counsel’s Disciplinary Board last week.
A colleague had raised concerns after seeing the “inappropriate” post on a social media site but failed to make the school aware of the serious nature of the concern until later in the day.
When confronted by the Headteacher, Mr Ross lied about having taken the illegal substance and was immediately suspended.
The panel ruled that Mr Ross had “failed in his duty to safeguard the wellbeing and safety of pupils in his care”.
