A teacher has been banned from the profession after drinking cider while working at a Westhoughton secondary school.
A professional conduct panel of the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), found that Jon Downs, who was a teacher at Westhoughton High School, Bolton Road, put pupils at risk of harm due to his actions around July 2023.
A report from the TRA says somebody just named as Individual A reported that they were told by Individual B that a member of staff felt Mr Downs’ behaviour on the day of the incident was “quite out of character”.
