Teachers' Lockdown Chaos: Banned for Life

0:00On April 23rd, four teachers at a small boarding school in Lincolnshire got banned from classrooms after turning the place into total chaos during the 2020 lockdown. Head teacher Adam Webb, his deputy Allison Simmons, would work teacher Thomas Hayward and tutor Matthew Oyech oversaw wild antics like playing cricket, with a dead feson and killing baby chicks in front of kids. This happened at Build a Future, a private spot for students who couldn't fit mainstream schools from September 2020 to January 20. 21. Things escalated with daily bonfires where staff tossed exploding aerosol cans, egg fights started by teachers and kids riding cherry pickers on to, roofs just to get pelted with rocks and tomatoes. Teachers encouraged playfights that left pupils bleeding and even through stones while hurling insults. One teacher simulated sex acts on a student, with others laughing along. Parents and witnesses describe a toxic vibe with kids mocked for wait, hit with racist slurs and called names like donkey something and spastic.

1:04Vulnerable students got shamed hardest, denied food, and bullied in group pylons. A whistleblower compiled evidence that exposed the borderline cruelty, especially from the head teacher toward one pupil. All four faced the rest in January 2021 on suspicion of assault in neglect, but police dropped charges after investigation. Professional hearings by the teaching regulation agency nailed them for breaching standards, leading to lifetime teaching bans. The school sites got sold or renamed since, with one turning around under new management. This mess shows how lockdown pressures can twist authority, but accountability finally hit home for these educators.
