Racist Headteacher Who Abused Staff And Students Banned From The Classroom

Anupe Hanch a headteacher who racially bullied staff and complained if they had more Muslims "it is going to start looking like Al Jazeera" while checking CVs has been banned from the classroom for life.
According to a professional conduct panel, the 49 year old woman, asked a special needs pupil: "Do you want to become a paedophile?" and said she wanted to "chop off" the head of a Polish colleague. She also locked the assistant head teacher in her office for three hours in July 2010.

A year later, she got another staff member to place the jobs section of the Times Education Supplement on the assistant head's desk every Friday.
Mrs Hanch referred to one pupil as "a devil" and said: "I'm going to have to break down 5,000 years of Islam to get through to her."
She was in charge of Gearies Junior School, in Ilford, Essex, for seven years, denied all the allegations, but the panel found her guilty of misconduct.
The bullying head, who was sacked from her post in December 2012 after a 24-year career in teaching, has now been banned from the profession without being entitled to a review.
Among other issues that concerned the panel were that she directed a teacher "not to be nice" to one pupil. She told a girl that her classmates did not like her, while telling another pupil that her sister was a "known thief and liar".
Brian Hawkins, who chaired the panel run by the National College for Teaching and Leadership, said: "The panel had found that Mrs Hanch had acted dishonestly and that her conduct continued over a period of seven years and involved newly-qualified teachers, teaching staff, senior leaders, non-teaching staff at all levels, pupils and parents."
