Teacher banned from classroom after telling pupil ‘imagine this was your mum’ in lesson about honour killings
Former head of sixth form will be unable to teach in any school or children’s home across EnglandAlex Lloyd, formerly head of sixth form and a science teacher at the Bishop of Winchester Academy, was accused of telling a pupil to “imagine this was your mum being killed”, while telling another that honour killings were a serious matter affecting their culture specifically.
A misconduct hearing panel determined that the teacher’s comments were “inappropriate and unprofessional given the context of the lesson”, according to a Teaching Regulation Agency report. The panel noted his comments were “targeted and reinforced discriminatory stereotypes, which did not form part of the learning material, copies of which the panel considered as evidence”.
As well as his comment asking a pupil to imagine their mother being killed, he was accused of telling another student that female genital mutilation happened exclusively in their culture, and another that, if she were living in Iran, she would have been killed for what she was wearing.
Four statements from pupils reported Mr Lloyd sarcastically referring to
a redacted faith as a “religion of peace” with a thumbs up. He then told another pupil “so you’re all not so bad after all”, after they said “we don’t believe in killing anyone in the religion”. He then told that student he was not sorry if he had offended them, as he went on to tell the class he would happily commit murder if anyone had hurt his daughter.
